  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 Jacob Brodman of Tiffin, Ohio, 
has been offered an appointment to attend the United States Military 
Academy at West Point, New York.
  Jacob's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming cadet 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.
  Jacob brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming class of West Point cadets. While attending 
Calvert High School in Tiffin, Ohio, Jacob attained an impressive grade 
point average. Jacob was a member of the School's Spanish Club and Quiz 
Bowl team, and he earned academic letters throughout his high school 
career.
  Outside the classroom, Jacob was a member of the football, wrestling, 
and track teams. Jacob utilized his leadership skills by participating 
in Calvert High School's National Honor Society and Student Council. I 
am confident that Jacob will carry the lessons of his student 
leadership to West Point.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Jacob 
Brodman on his acceptance of appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Jacob will excel during his 
career at West Point and I ask my colleagues to join me in extending 
their best wishes to him as he begins his service to the Nation.
