  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding young woman from Ohio's fifth congressional 
district. I am happy to announce that Ashley Mohr of Van Wert, Ohio has 
been offered appointments to attend the United States Military Academy, 
the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Merchant Marine 
Academy. Ashley has accepted the offer to attend the United States 
Military Academy in West Point, New York.
  Ashley brings an enormous amount of leadership, service and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2015. While attending Van Wert High 
School in Van Wert, Ohio, Ashley attained a 4.0 GPA, was a member and 
vice president of Student Council, Senior Class president, member of 
BETA Club, French Club, Varsity V-Club and participated in choir and 
journalism. She received numerous academic awards.
  Throughout high school, Ashley was a team member of the track, 
basketball and soccer teams, where she received varsity letters. Ashley 
demonstrated her dedication and service to her community and peers by 
being active in Junior Rotarians as a Cougar Mentor Team member, as a 
member of First Presbyterian Church and volunteer referee for the 
Upward Soccer Program. I am confident that Ashley will carry the 
lessons of her student leadership to West Point.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Ashley 
Mohr on the acceptance of her appointment to the United States Military 
Academy in West Point where she will gain a world-class education and 
invaluable leadership experience. I am positive that Ashley will excel 
during her career at West Point, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending their best wishes to her as she begins her service to the 
nation.
