MILITARY ACADEMY NOMINATIONS Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026)] [House] [Pages H908-H909] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] MILITARY ACADEMY NOMINATIONS (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize nine students from Indiana's Third District that I have nominated to attend our Nation's military academies: Christian Touzard from Spencerville; Samantha Aselage from Huntertown; Oliver Werling from New Haven; Luke Wonderham from Monroeville; and Allison Heine, Jacob Levitt, Jacob Farrell, Jonah Haines, and Hayden Oberlin, all from Fort Wayne. Our service academies breed the best of the best, where strong leadership and impeccable fortitude are forged in service to our Nation. Throughout our Nation's history, America has been a shining example to the world for our commitment to democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law. As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary this year, I commend these students for choosing to defend these values foundational to our national identity. I am truly grateful to see that such patriotism and dedication to service thrives in the next generation. These nine individuals have already demonstrated excellence, and I know [[Page H909]] they will continue to make our country and State proud. ____________________
