  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Philip Dalke, a 
Naval Academy Appointee from Colorado's Fourth Congressional District. 
I believe our greatest assets are America's brave men and women in 
uniform. Philip 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.
  Philip demonstrated excellent leadership and service as captain of 
both the Varsity Volleyball and Basketball teams at his school. He 
received multiple awards recognizing his athletic talents, including 
the League Defensive Player of the Year and Male Athlete of the Year 
awards. He was also inducted into his school's chapter of the National 
Honor Society and was an active member of Student Government, showing a 
passion for education and heart for public service.
  Our Nation owes no greater debt of gratitude than to those who fight 
to protect our freedom and liberty. I commend Philip and his family for 
their commitment. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of 
Colorado, I extend my best wishes to Philip.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Philip Dalke as an appointee 
to the Naval Academy for his commitment to protect and serve our 
Nation.
