  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Katherine Murphy, a 
West Point Appointee from Colorado's Fourth Congressional district. I 
believe our greatest assets are America's brave men and women in 
uniform. Katherine 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.
  Katherine has demonstrated her commitment to public service through 
her involvement in Student Government, Student Council, and Community 
Service Club. She was an active member of her high school's chapter of 
the National Honor Society as well as the Spanish National Honor 
Society. Additionally, in recognition of her outstanding athletic and 
academic achievements, Katherine was named ``Rookie of the Year'' for 
the Varsity Cross Country team and received the Colorado Girls State 
Outstanding Citizen Award.
  Our nation owes no greater debt of gratitude than to those who fight 
to protect our freedom and liberty. I commend Katherine and her family 
for their commitment. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of 
Colorado, I extend my best wishes to Katherine.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Katherine Murphy as an 
appointee to West Point for her commitment to protect and serve our 
nation.
