  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Gianni Orlando, an 
Air Force Academy Appointee from Colorado's Fourth Congressional 
district. I believe our greatest assets are America's brave men and 
women in uniform. Gianni is making an incredible sacrifice for our 
country and deserves our utmost support for his service. It is with 
great pleasure that I give him my endorsement to attend this 
prestigious institution.
  Gianni has demonstrated excellent leadership and athleticism serving 
as captain of his school's lacrosse team, and helping lead both the 
football and lacrosse teams to victory in the Colorado State 
Championships. Additionally, he was inducted into his school's chapter 
of the National Honor Society and earned summa cum laude as a junior, 
showing his dedication to and passion for education.
  Our nation owes no greater debt of gratitude than to those who fight 
to protect our freedom and liberty. I commend Gianni and his family for 
their commitment. On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of 
Colorado, I extend my best wishes to Gianni.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Gianni Orlando as an 
appointee to the Air Force Academy for his commitment to protect and 
serve our nation.
