                        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 Kyle Hall of Greenwich, Ohio has 
been offered an appointment to attend the United States Merchant Marine 
Academy at Kings Point, New York.
  Kyle's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Merchant Marine 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.
  Kyle brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming Class of 2014. While attending South Central High 
School in Greenwich, Ohio, Kyle attained an impressive grade point 
average. Kyle was inducted into the National Honor Society, active in 
the Student Council, was a class officer, and achieved numerous 
academic honors.
  Throughout high school, Kyle was a member of the football, 
basketball, and track teams. He was co-captain of the football team and 
was a third year letterman in the sport. Kyle served the community of 
Greenwich by assisting with the Salvation Army. I am confident that 
Kyle will carry the lessons of his student leadership to the Merchant 
Marine Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Kyle 
Hall on the acceptance of his appointment to the United States Merchant 
Marine Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military 
training and education available. I am positive that Kyle will excel 
during his career at the Merchant Marine Academy and I ask my 
colleagues to join me in extending their best wishes to him as he 
begins his service to the Nation.
