  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 Dolan of Bryan, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy 
in West Point, New York. Alexander's offer of appointment poises him to 
attend the United States Military Academy this fall with the incoming 
Class of 2020. 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 undertaking 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 2020. While attending Bryan High 
School in Bryan, Ohio, Alexander was named an Outstanding Scholar-
Athlete Academy Award winner, earned academic booster club awards, 
served as class president, was a member of the National Honor Society, 
and was ranked first in his class.
   Throughout high school, Alexander was a member of his school's 
soccer and track and field teams, serving as the teams' captain and 
earning varsity letters. Alexander was also active and exceled in 
orchestra and was selected to attend Buckeye Boys State. I am confident 
that Alexander will carry the lessons of his student and athletic 
leadership to the Military Academy.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Alexander Dolan on the offer of his appointment to the United States 
Military Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military 
training and education available. I am positive that Alexander will 
excel during his career at the Military Academy, and I ask my 
colleagues to join me in extending their best wishes to him as he 
begins his service to our Nation.
