  Mr. BILLMORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to an 
outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. I am 
happy to announce that Marcus T. Jameyson, of Wellington, Ohio, has 
been offered an appointment to attend the United States Military 
Academy at West Point, New York.
  Mr. Speaker, Marc has accepted his offer of appointment and will be 
attending West Point this fall with the incoming cadet class of 2003. 
Attending one of our nation's military academies is an invaluable 
experience that offers a world-class education and demands the very 
best that these young men and women have to offer. Truly, it is one of 
the most challenging and rewarding undertakings of their lives.
  Marcus Jameyson brings a great deal of leadership and dedication to 
the incoming West Point class of 2003. While attending Wellington High 
School, Marc has attained a grade point average of 3.28, which places 
him among the best in his class. His academic success has placed him on 
the Honor Roll and Merit Roll. Currently, Marc is taking Honor's 
Program courses and several AP courses.
  Outside the classroom, Marc has distinguished himself as an 
outstanding student-athlete. Marc served as the Senior Captain of the 
Wellington High School Varsity Wrestling Team where, in both his 
Sophomore and Junior years, he placed fourth in the Ohio State 
Wrestling Tournament. Marc is also a member of the Wellington Varsity 
Baseball Team. I am also pleased to announce that Marc is being 
recruited for Intercollegiate Athletics at West Point.
  Mr. Speaker, at this point, I would ask my colleagues to stand and 
join me in paying special tribute to Marcus T. Jameyson. Our service 
academies offer the finest education and military training available 
anywhere in the world. I am sure that Marc will do very well during his 
career at West Point, and I wish him the very best in all of his future 
endeavors.
