                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 20, 2017

  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 Sean Rattay of Monclova, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 
Annapolis, Maryland.
  Sean's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Naval Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2021. 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.
  Sean brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming Class of 2021. While attending St. John's Jesuit High 
School in Toledo, Ohio, Sean was a member of the National Honor 
Society, a peer tutor and a school ambassador.
  Throughout high school, Sean participated in varsity football, 
earning numerous achievements and accolades along the way. Sean also 
led Christmas on Campus and volunteered at Swan Creek Care Center, an 
assisted living center in Toledo, Ohio. I am confident that Sean 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 Sean 
Rattay on his offer of appointment to the United States Naval Academy. 
Our service academies offer the finest military training and education 
available. I am positive that Sean will excel during his career at 
Annapolis, and I ask my colleagues to join me in extending their best 
wishes to him as he begins his service to our Nation.
