                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  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 Collin Keil of Whitehouse, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Merchant Marine 
Academy in Kings Point, New York.
  Collin's offer of appointment poises him to attend the United States 
Merchant Marine Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2020. 
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 undertaking one of the most challenging and rewarding 
experiences of their lives.
  Collin brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2020. While attending Anthony Wayne 
High School in Whitehouse, Ohio, Collin earned scholastic honors, 
served as a link leader, and was named an AAU All-American in 
wrestling.
  Throughout high school, Collin was a member of his school's football, 
wrestling, and crew teams, earning multiple varsity letters. I am 
confident that Collin will carry the lessons of his student and 
athletic leadership to the Merchant Marine Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Collin 
Keil on the offer of his appointment to the United States Merchant 
Marine Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military 
training and education available. I am positive that Collin will excel 
during his career at the Merchant Marine Academy, and I ask my 
colleagues to join me in extending their best wishes to him as he 
begins his service to our Nation.
