  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding student from Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. I am pleased to announce that Caleb Lipscomb of Perrysburg, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy 
at Annapolis, Maryland.
  Caleb's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming midshipmen Class of 2016. 
Attending one of our nation's military academies not only offers the 
opportunity to serve our country but also guarantees a world-

class education, while placing demands on those who undertake one of 
the most challenging and rewarding experiences of their lives.
  Caleb brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2016. While attending Perrysburg 
High School in Perrysburg, Ohio, Caleb was on the High Honor Roll and 
was a member of the National Honor Society.
  Throughout high school, Caleb was a member of his school's wrestling 
and football teams and earned varsity letters in both sports. In 
addition, Caleb participated in several mission trips in Ohio and West 
Virginia and served as Master Counselor for Demolay International. I am 
confident that Caleb will carry the lessons of his student and athletic 
leadership to the Naval Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Caleb 
Lipscomb on the offer of his appointment to the United States Naval 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Caleb 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.
