                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 19, 2012

  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 Marshall Kobylski of Bowling 
Green, Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States 
Military Academy at West Point, New York.
  Marshall's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United 
States Military Academy this fall with the incoming cadet 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.
  Marshall brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2016. While attending Bowling Green 
Senior High School in Bowling Green, Ohio, Marshall was a member of the 
National Honor Society, participant in the Ohio Energy Project, 
President of the Chess Club, and a Buckeye Boys State delegate.
  Throughout high school, Marshall was a member of his school's cross 
country and track teams and earned varsity letters in both sports. In 
addition, Marshall participated in various church based organizations, 
including the youth group. I am confident that Marshall will carry the 
lessons of his student and athletic leadership to the Military Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Marshall Kobylski on the offer of his appointment to the United States 
Military Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military 
training and education available. I am positive that Marshall will 
excel during his career at the Military Academy, and I ask my 
colleagues to join me in extending their best wishes to him as he 
begins his service to the Nation.
