CONGRATULATING THE ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS
HON. MIKE PENCE OF INDIANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Academy of Model Aeronautics located in Muncie, Indiana, for their receipt of the prestigious National Aeronautic Association’s Brewer Trophy for youth education. The Brewer Trophy is the nation’s highest award for aerospace education and is awarded annually to individuals or organizations who make significant contributions to aerospace education in the United States. The Academy of Model Aeronautics has a 75-year history of aviation education, and they have impacted millions of young people across the country. They have taught tens of thousands of teachers, community leaders, and students how to build and fly miniature aircraft. In addition to their educational programs, the Academy of Model Aeronautics has given nearly $800,000 in scholarships to college-bound seniors pursuing careers almost exclusively in engineering, technical, and professional disciplines. The Academy is also strongly invested in science, technology, engineering, and math education programs. I commend the Academy of Model Aeronautics for their receipt of the prestigious Brewery Trophy and thank them for their numerous contributions to the Muncie community, the State of Indiana, and the nation.
