2009 Assembly RESOLUTION 9

June 9, 2009 - Introduced by Representatives Kessler, Fields and Pridemore. Referred to Committee on Rules.

AR9,1,2 Relating to: congratulating Milwaukee Lutheran High School's graduating class of 2009.

AR9,1,4 Whereas, Milwaukee Lutheran High School's class of 2009 graduated on Saturday, May 30; and

AR9,1,10 Whereas, the aforementioned class includes three graduates who have been accepted to the service academies for the education and training of commissioned officers of the United States military, to wit, Nikko Ruud, accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Jonathan Kappel, accepted to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland; and Richard J. Wycklendt III, accepted to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York; and

AR9,1,15 Whereas, these academies are highly selective institutions, generally requiring applicants to be nominated by a senator, congressperson, or the vice president of the United States, accepting only a small fraction of those who apply, and requiring successful applicants to demonstrate academic achievement, physical fitness, and good moral character; and

AR9,2,3 Whereas, the presence of two future cadets and one future midshipman in one graduating class is very rare and honors both the accepted students and Milwaukee Lutheran High School; and

AR9,2,7 Whereas, three current members of the Wisconsin state assembly are graduates of Milwaukee Lutheran High School, to wit, Representative Frederick P. Kessler, Class of 1957, Representative Donald Pridemore, Class of 1964, and Representative Jason Fields, Class of 1992; now, therefore, be it

AR9,2,10 Resolved by the assembly, That the assembly offers its congratulations to Nikko Ruud, Jonathan Kappel, Richard J. Wycklendt III, and Milwaukee Lutheran High School for their remarkable accomplishments.
