                        Friday, October 26, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the individuals who 
served on our 6th Congressional District Military Service Academy 
Nomination Board.
  As a Member of Congress, I have the honor of nominating young 
Hoosiers from Indiana's 6th Congressional District to the United States 
Military Service Academies. Each Member of Congress may nominate up to 
ten candidates for each available vacancy to the Military Academy at 
West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, and the Merchant 
Marine Academy.
  Each year, the members of the 6th Congressional District Military 
Service Academy Nomination Board work with my staff and I to evaluate 
the applications of young men and women from our District who are 
seeking admittance to a military academy. During my time in Congress, 
we have nominated more than 90 young men and women to these academies. 
Many of them have since graduated and are currently serving our 
country.
  I want to thank all of the members of the Nomination Board, 
including, Nate LaMar, Jan Frazier, Robert Morrow, David Martin, and 
Kelly Poltrack for their service. The Board's insight and experience 
has always been helpful to me and my staff.
  I appreciate their service on the Committee and their dedication to 
our country. I wish all of them continued success in whatever God has 
in store for them and their families.
