                    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 Jeffrey Wilson of Perrysburg, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
   Jeffrey's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United 
States Air Force 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.
   Jeffrey brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Lake Local 
High School in Millbury, Ohio, Jeffrey was a member of the National 
Honor Society and received hockey and golf academic awards. In 
addition, he received his Eagle Scout award through the Boy Scouts of 
America.
   Throughout high school, Jeffrey was a member of his school's hockey, 
golf and baseball teams, earning varsity letters in each. I am 
confident that Jeffrey will carry the lessons of his student and 
athletic leadership to the Air Force Academy.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Jeffrey Wilson on the offer of his appointment to the United States Air 
Force Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training 
and education available. I am positive that Jeffrey will excel during 
his career at the Air Force Academy, and I ask my colleagues to join me 
in extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to the 
Nation.
