it is a privilege to rise and recognize five outstanding young leaders from eastern North Carolina who have earned appointments to our Nation's service academies. Abel Dees and Parker Stokes are headed to the United States Military Academy. Leo Fletcher-Fontana will attend the United States Air Force Academy. Nicholas Santiago and Dylan Sawyer are bound for the United States Naval Academy. These remarkable young leaders have achieved academic excellence. They reflect the best of our communities and are answering the call that goes way beyond themselves. Behind each of them is a community of supporters and families whose love is making it possible for them. Mr. Speaker, to our appointees: Abel, Parker, Leo, Nicholas, and Dylan, eastern North Carolina believes in them and we are proud of them.
