                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 2022

  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 Maximus Closson of Northwood, 
Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York.
  Max's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2026. 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.
  Max brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming Class of 2026. While attending Northwood High School in 
Northwood, Ohio, Max participated in student government, Quiz Bowl, and 
was a member of National Honor Society. Throughout high school, Max was 
involved with cross country and track and field, earning varsity 
letters in both. I am confident that Max 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 
Maximus Closson 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 Max will excel 
during his career at the Military Academy, and I ask my colleagues to 
join me in extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service 
to our Nation.
