                       Thursday, October 4, 2007

  Mr. AKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor one of 
my constituents, Mr. Dennis Hahn. Dennis has been selected to receive 
the 2007 Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge's George Washington Honor 
Medal. The Freedoms Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated 
to teaching young people the principles upon which our Nation was 
founded. They work to convey the close link between the rights and the 
responsibilities of citizens in society.
  Dennis is a charter member of the St. Charles, Missouri chapter of 
the Fernando de Leyba, the Sons of the American Revolution, founded in 
1997. He is a charter member and Vice President of the Missouri Postal 
History Society since 2001. Dennis is an active member and Treasurer at 
the First Baptist Church of St. Charles, Missouri, as well as Sunday 
school teacher, Chairman and member of numerous committees, current 
President of the school board, and member of the St. Charles City 
Economic Development Commission.
  Dennis is married to Shirley Hahn, a public school teacher for the 
St. Charles school district. He is also the father of the three 
children and grandfather of five.
  As one who has a deep and abiding love for American history and the 
patriots who have gone before us, I want to thank Dennis Hahn for his 
commitment to preserving our history and congratulate him for being 
selected for the 2007 George Washington Honor Medal.
