                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 13, 2015

  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 Joshua Mossing of Sylvania, 
Ohio has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Joshua'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.
  Joshua brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2019. While attending Central 
Catholic High School in Toledo, Ohio, Joshua was a member of the 
National Honor Society, Summa Cum Laude Honor Roll, and was top ten in 
class rank.
  Throughout high school, Joshua was a member of his school's wrestling 
and football teams, earning varsity letters in wrestling and voted team 
captain of the wrestling team. I am confident that Joshua 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 Joshua 
Mossing 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 Joshua 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.
