  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 John Hamernik of Maumee, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  John's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2024. 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.
  John brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2024. While attending Anthony Wayne 
High School in Whitehouse, Ohio, John was a member of the National 
Honor Society, Student Council President, member of the Rotary Interact 
Club, and a Buckeye Boys State attendee, while maintaining a 4.25 GPA.
  Throughout high school, John was involved with baseball and rowing 
among other extracurricular activities. I am confident that John 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 John 
Hamernik 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 John 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.
