                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 1, 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 Alexander Mossing of Holland, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Alexander'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.
  Alexander brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Central 
Catholic High School in Toledo, Ohio, Alexander maintained a 3.99 grade 
point average and earned scholastic honors of summa cum laude each 
year.
  Throughout high school, Alexander was a member of his school's 
wrestling, golf, and tennis teams, excelling in wrestling as he earned 
a varsity letter each of his four years and was state champion his 
junior and senior year. I am confident that Alexander 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 
Alexander Mossing 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 Alexander 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.
