                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 1, 2019

  Mr. LATTA. Madam 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 Devin Thiel of Edgerton, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy 
in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Devin's offer of appointment permits him to attend the United States 
Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming Class of 2023. 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.
  Devin brings a tremendous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming Class of 2023. While attending Edgerton High 
School in Edgerton, Ohio, Devin was a member of the National Honor 
Society, Scholar Athlete Award recipient, and All-A Honor Roll, while 
ranking second in his class.
  Throughout high school, Devin was involved with wrestling, cross 
country, football and track among other extracurricular activities. I 
am confident that Devin will carry the lessons of his student and 
athletic leadership to the Air Force Academy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Devin 
Thiel on his offer of appointment to the United States Air Force 
Academy. Our service academies offer the finest military training and 
education available. I am positive that Devin 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 our 
Nation.
