                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 1, 2019

  Mr. LATTA. Madam 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 Kevin Hileman of Toledo, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 
Annapolis, Maryland.
  Kevin's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2023. 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.
  Kevin brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2023. While attending Ottawa Hills 
High School in Ottawa Hills, Ohio, Kevin was a member of the National 
Honor Society and Honor Roll.
  Throughout high school, Kevin was involved with soccer, having 
achieved his varsity letter and served as team captain. I am confident 
that Kevin will carry the lessons of his student and athletic 
leadership to the Naval Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Kevin 
Hileman 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 Kevin 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.
