  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 Trey Smith of Delphos, Ohio has 
been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy in 
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
   Trey's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Air Force 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.
   Trey brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming

Class of 2020. While attending Delphos Jefferson High School in 
Delphos, Ohio, Trey was a member of the National Honor Society, an 
Honor Roll selection every quarter, earned the Best in Class Award for 
three consecutive years, and was ranked first in his class. He also 
served as a class officer.
   Throughout high school, Trey was a member of his school's basketball 
team, earning various awards and becoming Delphos Jefferson High 
School's all-time leading scorer. I am confident that Trey 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 Trey 
Smith 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 Trey 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 our 
Nation.
