IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF JACKSON GREFE ON HIS OFFER OF APPOINTMENT TO

ATTEND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY

______

HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

of ohio

in the house of representatives

Friday, May 28, 2021

Mr. LATTA. Madam 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 Jackson Grefe of Sylvania, Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

Jackson's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2025. 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.

Jackson brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and dedication to the incoming Class of 2025. While attending Whitmer High School in Toledo, Ohio, Jackson participated in student government, Speech and Debate, German Club, and was a member of National Honor Society.

Throughout high school, Jackson was involved with cross country and track and field, achieving his varsity letter in both. I am confident that Jackson will carry the lessons of his student and athletic leadership to the Military Academy.

Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Jackson Grefe on his offer of appointment to the United States Military Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and education available. I am positive that Jackson will excel during his career at the Military Academy, and I ask my colleagues to join me in extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our nation.
