  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 10 students from 
the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas who received 
appointments to America's military academies. The students who receive 
appointments to our nation's prestigious military academies are some of 
the best and brightest students in America. They bring enormous pride 
to our communities. It's an honor to recognize these young leaders who 
have committed to protect and defend our nation through service in our 
military academies.
  The students selected to represent our district include: Joshua Xu of 
Seven Lakes High School in Katy (U.S. Naval Academy), Cy Payne of Seven 
Lakes High School in Katy (U.S. Naval Academy), David Hernandez, III of 
Pearland High School in Pearland (U.S. Military Academy), William 
Waters of Cinco Ranch High School in Katy (U.S. Military Academy), 
Morgan Landers of Strake Jesuit College Preparatory from Houston (U.S. 
Military Academy), Brittany Scofield of Seven Lakes High School in Katy 
(U.S. Military Academy), Chad Cleary of Stephen F. Austin High School 
in Sugar Land (U.S. Merchant Marine Academy), Drake Dentry of Pearland 
High School in Pearland (U.S. Merchant Marine Academy), Nicholas Supry 
of Seven Lakes High School in Katy (U.S. Merchant Marine Academy) and 
Jonah Sanjay Bhide of American Embassy School, New Delhi, India (U.S. 
Air Force Academy).
  As a former Navy pilot, I know that these students are about to 
embark on a tremendous citizenship experience. On behalf of all of the 
residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I'm 
thrilled to congratulate these young leaders. I'm confident they will 
honorably serve our nation with pride and distinction.
