                    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 Mason Jessing of Delta, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 
Annapolis, Maryland.
   Mason's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval 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.
   Mason brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Delta High 
School in Delta, Ohio, Mason was a member of the National Honor 
Society, Honor Roll, and Academic Excellence Award recipient.
   Throughout high school, Mason was a member of his school's football, 
track and powerlifting teams, earning varsity letters in football. He 
was also an MRA motocross rider.

I am confident that Mason 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 Mason 
Jessing on the offer of his appointment to the United States Naval 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Mason 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.
