 COMMENDING FOURTH DISTRICT STUDENTS FOR UNITED STATES SERVICE ACADEMY 
                              APPOINTMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 24, 2020

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor four exceptional 
students of Arkansas' Fourth Congressional District. These four young 
men recently accepted appointments into United States Service 
Academies, bringing their home district extreme pride in their academic 
excellence, their desire to serve, and their commitment to patriotism.
  I take this time to congratulate Cannon Turner of Arkadelphia on his 
appointment to the United States Air Force Academy, Jacob Tankersley of 
Pearcy and Daniel Woolsey of Ozark on their appointments to the United 
States Military Academy, and Samuel Tabler of Hot Springs Village on 
his appointment to the United States Naval Academy Preparatory School. 
These young Americans embody qualities of academic excellence and 
service above self which are necessary for such appointments.
  These four young men are a tremendous source of pride not just for 
their hometowns, but for the entire Fourth Congressional District. 
Their commitment to excellence is to be commended, but it is their love 
of country, their defense of liberty, and their pursuit of a freer 
America that truly sets them apart from all others.
  I take this time to honor them for their successes, to encourage them 
on this new pursuit, and to thank them for their example to the rest of 
the country of what a patriot truly is.

                          ____________________
