  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 Colton Keefe of Bowling Green, 
Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Colton's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2027. Attending 
one of our nation's military academies offers the opportunity to serve 
our country and receive a world-class education. At the same time, 
these young men and women undertake one of the most challenging and 
rewarding experiences of their lives.
  Colton brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2027. While attending Bowling Green 
High School, Colton participated in numerous extracurricular activities 
and was a member of the National Honor Society. Throughout high school, 
Colton participated in football and wrestling, earning his varsity 
letter in both. I am confident that Colton will carry the lessons of 
his student and athletic leadership to the Air Force Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Colton 
Keefe on his offer of appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available, and I am positive that Colton will excel during 
his career at the Air Force Academy. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our 
Nation.
