                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  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 Sara Pisarski of Bowling Green, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Merchant 
Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York.
  Sara's offer of appointment poises her to attend the United States 
Merchant Marine Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2017. 
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.
  Sara brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming Class of 2017. While attending Bowling Green Senior 
High School in Bowling Green, Ohio, Sara was on the Honor Roll and was 
a member of the National Honor Society and the National Society of High 
School Scholars.
  Throughout high school, Sara was a member of her school's basketball 
team and earned a varsity letter. In addition, Sara was a section 
leader in the marching band and the symphonic band and was the Lt. 
Governor of

Ohio's Division 1 District Key Club. I am confident that Sara will 
carry the lessons of her student and athletic leadership to the 
Merchant Marine Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Sara 
Pisarski on the offer of her appointment to the United States Merchant 
Marine Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military 
training and education available. I am positive that Sara will excel 
during her career at the Merchant Marine Academy, and I ask my 
colleagues to join me in extending their best wishes to her as she 
begins her service to the Nation.
