offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy in West 
Point, New York.
  Daniel's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2022. Attending 
one of our nation's military academies not only offers the opportunity 
to serve our country, but also guarantees a world-class education while 
undertaking one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of a 
lifetime.
  Daniel brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2022. While attending Perrysburg 
High School in Perrysburg, Ohio, Daniel was a Summa Cum Laude scholar, 
Senior Class President, Student Council Representative, and a school 
tutor.
  Throughout high school, Daniel served as a team captain for football, 
wrestling, and rugby, earning multiple varsity letters. Daniel was also 
Vice President of DECA, volunteered at the Vision Soup Kitchen and 
Toledo YES Project, and participated in Buckeye Boys State. I am 
confident that Daniel will carry the lessons of his student and 
athletic leadership to the Military Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Daniel 
Walton on his offer of appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Daniel will excel during his 
career at West Point, and I ask my colleagues to join me in extending 
their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our Nation.
