                        Thursday, April 5, 2018

  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 Ian Donahue of Sylvania, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 
Annapolis, Maryland.
  Ian's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2022. 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 a 
lifetime.
  Ian brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming Class of 2022. While attending Northview High School in 
Sylvania, Ohio, Ian served as President of the National Honors Society, 
and participated in student government, World Language Club, and 
Spanish Honors Society.
  Throughout high school, Ian participated in football and was captain 
for the lacrosse team, earning varsity letters in both sports. Ian was 
also involved in student council and Interact. I am confident that Ian 
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 Ian 
Donahue on his offer of appointment to the United States Naval Academy. 
Our service academies offer the finest military training and education 
available. I am positive that Ian 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.
