RECOGNIZING PETER VAN CISE'S APPOINTMENT TO THE U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to
recognize Peter Van Cise of Julian, Pennsylvania. Peter is a senior at
the Bald Eagle Area High School. When considering his post-graduation
options, Peter honorably chose to commit himself to serving his
country.
I am proud of Peter and pleased to announce that he has accepted a
fully qualified appointment to the United States Air Force Academy in
Colorado.
Peter is the son of Ann Van Cise and Dana Van Cise, an Air Force
veteran. He is the youngest of seven children. Peter excelled in the
classroom, on the soccer field, and in his community as a true leader.
I know that his hard work as a student will serve him well as he starts
his military career in the Air Force Academy.
Peter has continually demonstrated a sincere commitment to service,
and I wish him all the best in this exciting new venture.
