  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 Leia McIntosh of Toledo, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  Leia's offer of appointment permits her to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2025. 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.
  Leia brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2025. While attending Whitmer High 
School in Toledo, Ohio, Leia participated in Spanish Club, was an 
elementary school cheer coach, and a member of National Honor Society.
  Throughout high school, Leia was involved with tennis, cheer, and 
track and field, achieving her varsity letter in tennis and cheer. I am 
confident that Leia will carry the lessons of her student and athletic 
leadership to the Military Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Leia 
McIntosh on her offer of appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Leia will excel during her 
career at the Military Academy, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to her as she begins her service to our 
nation.
