                    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 Brendan Degryse of Bryan, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  Brendan'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.
  Brendan brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2026. While attending Fairview High 
School in Sherwood, Ohio, and Four County Career Center in Archbold, 
Ohio, Brendan has participated in 4-H, Quiz Bowl, and was a member of 
National Honor Society. Throughout high school, Brendan was involved 
with golf and archery, earning a varsity letter in both. I am confident 
that Brendan 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 
Brendan Degryse 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 Brendan 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.
