                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 15, 2023

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. 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 Dylan Rockey of Bryan, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  Dylan's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2027. 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.
  Dylan brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2027. While attending Hayfield 
Secondary School in Alexandria, Virginia, Dylan has participated in 
JROTC and was on the honor role. Throughout high school, Dylan was 
involved with lacrosse and football, becoming varsity captain of his 
football team. I am confident that Dylan will carry the lessons of his 
student and athletic leadership to the Military Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dylan 
Rockey on his offer of appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available, and I am positive that Dylan will excel during his 
career at the Military Academy. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our 
Nation.
