                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 13, 2015

  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 Mary Bahr of Waterville, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York.
   Mary's offer of appointment poises her to attend the United States 
Military Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2019. 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.
   Mary brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Anthony Wayne 
High School in Whitehouse, Ohio, Mary was a member of the National 
Honor Society, Honor Roll, and received scholastic honors. In addition, 
she was actively involved in her church choir and youth group.
   Throughout high school, Mary was a member of her school's cross 
country and basketball teams, earning her varsity letters in each. I am 
confident that Mary will carry the lessons of her student and athletic 
leadership to the Military Academy.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mary 
Bahr on the offer of her appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Mary will excel during her 
career at the Military Academy, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to her as she begins her service to the 
Nation.
