                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 1, 2025

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding student from Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. I am pleased to announce that William Sikora of Avon, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
  William's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United 
States Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2029. 
Attending one of our Nation's military academies not only offers the 
opportunity to serve our country but also guarantees a world-class 
education while undertaking one of the most challenging and rewarding 
experiences of their lives.
  William brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2029. While attending Avon High 
School, he received the College Board National Hispanic Recognition 
Academic Achievement Award, the AP Scholar with Distinction Award, 
attended Buckeye Boys State, and was on the honor role. Throughout high 
school, William was involved in wrestling, earning wrestler of the 
week. I am confident that he will carry the lessons of his student and 
athletic leadership to the Military Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating William 
Sikora on his offer of appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available, and I am positive that William will excel during 
his career at the Military Academy. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our 
Nation.
