  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alexander Hamilton, 
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. Alexander is making an incredible sacrifice for our 
country and deserves our utmost support for his service. It is with 
great pleasure that I give him my endorsement to attend this 
prestigious institution.
  Alexander has earned a variety of awards for his academic and 
athletic achievements, including the Ironman Award for football and the 
Silver Cross Award for academics. He also served as captain of his 
school's football team, where he was selected for the Academic All 
State First Team. Additionally, he works as a volunteer for the Special 
Olympics, demonstrating compassion and a true heart for service.
  Our nation owes no greater debt of gratitude than to those who fight 
to protect our freedom and liberty. I commend Alexander and his family 
for their commitment. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of 
Colorado, I extend my best wishes to Alexander.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Alexander Hamilton as an 
appointee to the Air Force Academy for his commitment to protect and 
serve our nation.
