                        Tuesday, April 27, 2010

  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. I am happy to announce that Grant Genzman of Perrysburg, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to attend the United States Naval 
Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.
  Grant's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming midshipmen Class of 2014. 
Attending one of our Nation's military academies is an invaluable 
experience that offers a world-class education while placing demands on 
those who undertake one of the most challenging and rewarding 
experiences of their lives.
  Grant brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming class of midshipmen. While attending St. 
John's Jesuit High School in Toledo, Ohio, Grant attained an impressive 
grade point average that placed him first in his graduating class. 
Grant earned the AP Scholar Award, the Outstanding Academic Achievement 
Award, the Claver Scholar Award and he was inducted into the National 
Honor Society.
  Outside the classroom, Grant was a member of the football, wrestling, 
and tennis teams. Grant utilized his leadership skills by participating 
in St. John Jesuit's Integrity Committee, Ambassadors Core Team, Marine 
Science Club, and Student Council. I am confident that Grant will carry 
the lessons of his student leadership to the Naval Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Grant 
Genzman on his acceptance of appointment to the United States Naval 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Grant will excel during his 
career at the Naval Academy and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to the 
Nation.
