  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 Brenna Payne of Luckey, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  Brenna's offer of appointment permits her 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.
  Brenna brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2027. While attending Eastwood High 
School in Pemberville, Ohio, Brenna participated in marching band, 
concert band, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and was a member of the 
National Honor Society. Throughout high school, Brenna was involved 
with Eastwood Gymnastics and YMCA Gymnastics, earning a varsity letter. 
I am confident that Brenna will carry the lessons of her student and 
athletic leadership to the Military Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, l ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Brenna 
Payne on her 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 Brenna will excel during her career at the 
Military Academy. I ask my colleagues to join me in extending their 
best wishes to her as she begins her service to our Nation.
