  Mr. LATTA. Mr. 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 Michael Grindle of Holland, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Air

Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Michael's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2019. 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 
placing demands on those who undertake one of the most challenging and 
rewarding experiences of their lives.
  Michael brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Springfield 
High School in Holland, Ohio, Michael was a member of the National 
Honor Society, Principal's Honor Roll, Foreign Language Club, and 
served as class secretary.
  Throughout high school, Michael was a member of his school's swim 
team, cross country team, and football team. He was also a member of 
men's gymnastics at the Toledo YMCA. I am confident that Michael will 
carry the lessons of his student and athletic leadership to the Air 
Force Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Michael 
Grindle on the offer of his appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Michael 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.
