                         Wednesday, May 1, 2024

  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 Nicholas Geraci of North 
Ridgeville, Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States 
Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Nicholas's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United 
States Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2028. 
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.
  Nicholas brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2028. While attending North 
Ridgeville High School, he participated in Key Club, coached middle 
school track and field, coached powder-puff football, and was on the 
honor roll. Throughout high school, Nicholas was involved in track and 
field, earning his varsity letter. After high school, he attended the 
University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, majoring in Aerospace Engineering.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Nicholas Geraci 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 Nicholas 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.
