  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Victoria Bernabei, 
an Air Force Academy Appointee from Colorado's Fourth Congressional 
district. I believe our greatest assets are America's brave men and 
women in uniform. Victoria is making an incredible sacrifice for our 
country and deserves our utmost support for her service. It is with 
great pleasure that I give her my endorsement to attend this 
prestigious institution.
  Victoria served as Honor Guard Commander as well as Cadet Captain of 
the Civil Air Patrol for which she received the Earhart Award. She has 
also received various Academic All-State honors. Additionally, she 
volunteers as a soccer coach in her community, demonstrating exemplary 
leadership skills and a heart for service.
  Our nation owes no greater debt of gratitude than to those who fight 
to protect our freedom and liberty. I commend Victoria and her family 
for their commitment. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of 
Colorado, I extend my best wishes to Victoria.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Victoria Bernabei as an 
appointee to the Air Force Academy for her commitment to protect and 
serve our nation.
