                       Wednesday, April 30, 2014

  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 Jason Hug of Bryan, Ohio has 
accepted an offer of appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
   Jason's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2018. 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.
   Jason brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2018. While attending Bryan High 
School in Bryan, Ohio, Jason was on the Honor Roll, was awarded 
numerous outstanding scholar athlete awards, a member of the National 
Honor Society, and maintained a 4.0 grade point average that placed him 
first in his class.
   Throughout high school, Jason played football, basketball, baseball, 
and track and field, being voted captain of his football team his 
senior year. In addition, Jason was class president and volunteered at 
his church and other community events. I am confident that Jason 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 Jason 
Hug 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 Jason 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.
