                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  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 James Reneau, Jr. of Findlay, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy 
in Annapolis, Maryland.
   James' offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval 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.
   James brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2020. While attending Findlay High 
School in Findlay, Ohio, James was a member of the National Honor 
Society, the Distinguished Honor Roll and a Scholar Athlete.
   Throughout high school, James was a member of his school's football 
and track teams, serving as his teams' captain. He also volunteered 
with community youth sports teams and Special Olympics. I am confident 
that James 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 James 
Reneau, Jr. 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 James 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 our 
Nation.
