                    in the house of representatives

                         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 Jake Wood of Perrysburg, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy 
in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Jake'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.
  Jake brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2028. While attending Perrysburg 
High School, he participated in National Honor Society, Spirit Club, 
Boy Scouts, and was on the honor role. Throughout high school, Jake was 
involved in wrestling, earning his varsity letter. I am confident that 
he 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 Jake 
Wood 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 Jake 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.
