IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF JOHN SHAFFER ON HIS OFFER OF APPOINTMENT TO

ATTEND THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE 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 John Shaffer of Maumee, Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

John's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States Air Force 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.

John brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and dedication to the incoming Class of 2025. While attending Perrysburg High School in Perrysburg, Ohio, John participated in lacrosse, for which he earned his varsity letter. He also coached and refereed youth lacrosse.

After graduating Perrysburg High School in 2017, John attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida and majored in aeronautical engineering. He then went on to attend the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado.

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