  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a 
young man from Georgia's 11th Congressional District who has 
distinguished himself as an excellent student and leader and has 
committed to serving his country. I am proud to announce that William 
Orr from Rome, Georgia, has received an appointment to the United 
States Military Academy. Will attends Darlington School, where he has a 
3.93 Grade Point Average and has been selected as a member of the 
National Honor Society. In addition to his academic achievements, Will 
has also been an athletic star for Darlington, where he has played on 
Darlington's football, basketball, and soccer teams. He has earned 
varsity letters in four sports while at Darlington and was a captain on 
the football team for two years. Will is also very dedicated to public 
service and has participated in multiple mission trips with his church. 
Further, he has been selected to be a part of West Point's Summer 
Leadership Seminar.
  Will Orr is an incredibly well-rounded young man, and I am honored to 
have the privilege to nominate him for an appointment to the U.S. 
Military Academy. I ask that my colleagues take this time to 
congratulate Will as well as his parents, James and Jo Orr, for all of 
his accomplishments. It is because of dedicated young people like Will 
that America has the finest military in the world. Our nation is 
fortunate to have his service.
