  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 Shaffer of Maumee, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy 
in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  John's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Air Force 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.
  John brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2025. While attending Perrysburg 
High School in Perrysburg, Ohio, John participated in lacrosse, for 
which he earned his varsity letter. He also coached and refereed youth 
lacrosse.
  After graduating Perrysburg High School in 2017, John attended Embry 
Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida and majored in 
aeronautical engineering. He then went on to attend the United States 
Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating John 
Shaffer on his offer of appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that John will excel during his 
career at the Air Force Academy, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our 
nation.
