                        Tuesday, April 28, 2009

  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. I am happy to announce that Michael Wurth of Perrysburg, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force 
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Mike's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming cadet Class of 2013. 
Attending one of our Nation's military academies is an invaluable 
experience that offers a world-class education while placing demands on 
those who undertake one of the most challenging and rewarding 
experiences of their lives.
  Mike brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming class of Air Force cadets. While attending Perrysburg 
High School in Perrysburg, Ohio, Mike was a member of the National 
Honor Society and High Honor Roll.
  Outside the classroom, Mike was active in Boy Scouts, serving as a 
Patrol Leader, Chaplain's Aide, and Order of the Arrow Brotherhood 
Member. He obtained the rank of Eagle Scout and served as a Junior 
Assistant Scoutmaster. Mike participated on Perrysburg High School's 
cross country, track, and wrestling teams, earning varsity letters in 
each and serving as captain of the cross country and wrestling teams. 
Mike also organized community track meets. I am confident that Mike 
will carry the lessons of his student leadership to the Air Force 
Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Michael Wurth on his acceptance of appointment to the United States Air 
Force Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training 
and education available. I am positive that Mike 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 the 
Nation.
