                        HON. THOMAS G. TANCREDO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2006

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate a young man 
from Greenwood Village, Colorado, Mr. Joshua Marc Jacobson, for earning 
a Congressional Award Gold Medal.
  The Congressional Award program challenges talented young men and 
women to be active in their communities, develop leadership skills, and 
challenge themselves physically and to go on expeditions domestically 
or internationally.
  Josh completed over 400 hours of community service with the most 
rewarding project being a food drive that he organized as the chapter 
president of Future Business Leaders of America. His personal 
development goals were achieved through part-time work with local 
businesses. Here he was able to develop skills in leadership that he 
will be taking with him as an intern for a Congressional Campaign this 
summer. Josh completed his physical fitness requirements by playing 
varsity tennis in high school, after years of hard work to achieve his 
goal.
  Josh's commitment to his community and' his desire to become a future 
leader is significant as he continues to grow this summer and in the 
years ahead.
