  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 Bryant Schlade of Napoleon, Ohio has been offered an appointment 
to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
   Bryant's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval 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.
   Bryant brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2018. While attending Napoleon High 
School, in Napoleon, Ohio, Bryant was on the Honor Roll and was a 
member of the National Honor Society.
   Throughout high school, Bryant was a member of his school's 
football, basketball, and track and field teams and earned varsity 
letters in all three sports. In addition, Bryant served as captain of 
the football and basketball teams his senior year. He was class 
president, member of the student council, Spanish Club member, 
Envirothon, and volunteered his time as an usher at church. I am 
confident that Bryant 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 Bryant 
Schlade 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 Bryant 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.
