                        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 John Rust, III of Monclova, 
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 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.
  John brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2026. While attending St. Francis 
de Sales School in Toledo, Ohio, John participated in student 
government, Toledo Repertoire Theatre, and was a member of National 
Honor Society. Throughout high school, John was involved with swim and 
dive and water polo, earning a varsity letter in both. I am confident 
that John will carry the lessons of his student and athletic leadership 
to the Air Force Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating John 
Rust, III 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.
