                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 13, 2026

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding student from Ohio's 5th Congressional 
District. I am pleased to announce that Trever Blackburn of LaGrange, 
Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York.
  Trever's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2030. 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 
his life. Trever brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2030. While attending Keystone High 
School, he participated in football, basketball, and baseball, earning 
his varsity letter in all three. After high school, he attended the 
Military Academy Preparatory School in West Point, New York. 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 Trever 
Blackburn 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 Trever 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.
