  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding student from Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. I am pleased to announce that Brendon Johns of Archbold, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  Brendan's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United 
States Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2023. 
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 their lives.
  Brendon brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2023. While attending Archbold High 
School in Archbold, Ohio, Brendon was a member of the National Honor 
Society, Class President, and member of the Student Council, while 
maintaining a 4.0 GPA and ranking first in his class.
  Throughout high school, Brendon was involved with cross country and 
track among other extracurricular activities. I am confident that 
Brendon will carry the lessons of his student and athletic leadership 
to the Military Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Brendon Johns 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 Brendon 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.
