                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 3, 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 Luke Beach of Haskins, Ohio has 
been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy in 
West Point, New York.
  Luke's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Military 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 
their lives.
  Luke brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2022. While attending Otsego High 
School in Tontogany, Ohio, Luke was a member of the National Honor 
Society, Future Farmers of America, and the high school debate team.
  Throughout high school, Luke served as captain of both the varsity 
basketball and varsity golf teams. Luke also ran his own business, 
Beach Lawn Care, volunteered with Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio and 
volunteered at Otsego youth sports camp. I am confident that Luke 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 Luke 
Beach on his offer of appointment to the United States Military 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Luke will excel during his 
career at West Point, and I ask my colleagues to join me in extending 
their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our Nation.
