John Paul Gray of Findlay, Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the 
United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.
  John Paul's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United 
States Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2029. 
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.
  John Paul brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2029. While attending Findlay High 
School, he participated in Gliding Stars Ice Skating, Buckeye Boys 
State, High School Business club, and was on the honor role. Throughout 
high school, John Paul was involved in track and field and cross 
country, earning his varsity letter in both. I am confident that he 
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 John 
Paul Gray 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 John Paul 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.
