                         Tuesday, May 20, 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 Lindsey Hatcher of Van Wert, 
Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York.
  Lindsey's offer of appointment permits her 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. Lindsey brings a tremendous amount of 
leadership, service, and dedication to the incoming Class of 2029. 
While attending Lincolnview High School, she participated in science 
club, band, student government, and was on the honor roll. Throughout 
high school, Lindsey was involved in track and field and golf, earning 
her varsity letter in both. I am confident that she will carry the 
lessons of her student and athletic leadership to the Military Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Lindsey 
Hatcher on her 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 Linsdey will excel during 
her career at the Military Academy. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to her as she begins her service to our 
Nation.
