  Mr. LATTA. Mr. 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 Nathan Kruse, of Ottawa, Ohio has 
been offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force 
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Nathan brings an enormous amount of leadership, service and 
dedication to the incoming class of Air Force cadets. While a gifted 
athlete, having earned varsity and junior varsity letters in football 
and track, Nathan has also maintained the highest standards of 
excellence in his academics. He attained a 4.0 GPA at Ottawa-Glandorf 
High School and is a member of and president of the National Honor 
Society. Nathan also participated in the German Club, Academic Quiz 
Bowl and Science Olympiad.
  Outside the classroom, Nathan is an Eagle Scout, Junior Optimist Club 
member and has volunteered for numerous tutoring opportunities. 
Nathan's dedication and service to his community and his peers has 
proven his ability to excel among the leaders at the Air Force Academy. 
I have no doubt that Nathan will take the lessons of his student 
leadership with him to Colorado Springs.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Nathan 
Kruse on his acceptance of appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy where he will gain a world-class education and receive 
invaluable leadership experience. I am positive that Nathan 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.
