                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 30, 2014

  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 Bryant Schlade of Napoleon, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to attend the United States Naval 
Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
  Bryant's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2018. 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.
  Bryant brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2018. While attending Napoleon High 
School, in Napoleon, Ohio, Bryant was on the Honor Roll and was a 
member of the National Honor Society.
  Throughout high school, Bryant was a member of his school's football, 
basketball, and track and field teams and earned varsity letters in all 
three sports. In addition, Bryant served as captain of the football and 
basketball teams his senior year. He was class president, member of the 
student council, Spanish Club member, Envirothon, and volunteered his 
time as an usher at church. I am confident that Bryant will carry the 
lessons of his student and athletic leadership to the Naval Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Bryant 
Schlade on the acceptance of his appointment to the United States Naval 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Bryant 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 the 
Nation.
