                          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 Andrew Weiss of Findlay, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 
Annapolis, Maryland.
   Andrew'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.
   Andrew brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Findlay High 
School in Findlay, Ohio, Andrew was a member of the National Honor 
Society and Honor Roll. He earned his Eagle Scout award with the Boy 
Scouts of America and was selected for Buckeye Boys State. In addition, 
he earned his private pilot's license.
   Throughout high school, Andrew was a member of his school's track 
team where he served as team captain and earned his varsity letter. I 
am confident that Andrew 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 Andrew 
Weiss 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 Andrew 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.
