  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 Maxwell Rutledge of Findlay, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York.
  Maxwell'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.
  Maxwell brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2023. While attending Saint Francis 
de Sales High School in Toledo, Ohio, Maxwell excelled in several AP 
courses.
  Throughout high school, Maxwell was involved with the varsity swim 
team. I am confident that Maxwell 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 
Maxwell Rutledge 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 Maxwell 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.
