                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. 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 Caleb Lipscomb of Perrysburg, 
Ohio, has been offered an appointment to attend the United States Naval 
Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
  Caleb's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2017. 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.
  Caleb brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2017. 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 acceptance 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.
