                        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 Ryan Roth of Perrysburg, Ohio has 
been offered an appointment to attend the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York.
  Ryan's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Military 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.
  Ryan brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming Class of 2017. While attending Perrysburg High School, 
in Perrysburg, Ohio, Ryan was on the High Honor Roll and was a member 
of the National Honor Society.
  Throughout high school, Ryan was a member of his school's wrestling 
and football teams and earned varsity letters in both sports. During 
Ryan's senior year, he was the team captain of the wrestling team and a 
student council representative. I am confident that Ryan 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 Ryan 
Roth on the acceptance of his appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Ryan 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.
