  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 Scott 
Rowe from Kennesaw, Georgia has received an appointment to the United 
States Naval Academy. Scott attends Harrison High School, where he has 
a 3.75 Grade Point Average and has earned the College Board AP Scholar 
Award. Scott is also a member of Mensa. In addition to Scott's focus on 
academics, he has remained very active in extracurricular activities. 
He is on Harrison's wrestling and swim teams and is President of the 
school's Integrity Team.
  Scott is also very involved in community service activities, such as 
Habitat for Humanity. Scott Rowe 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. Naval Academy. I ask that my colleagues take 
this time to congratulate Scott as well as his parents, Larry and 
Barbara Rowe, for his accomplishments. It is because of dedicated young 
people like Scott that America has the finest military in the world. 
Our nation is fortunate to have his service.
