                  TRIBUTE TO FORT CAMPBELL HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I wish to pay tribute to the Fort 
Campbell Varsity football team from Fort Campbell, KY. On December 8, 
2007, the Fort Campbell High School Varsity football team won the Class 
2-A State Championship in Louisville, KY.
  For the young men on this team, this is not just a trophy; it is an 
affirmation that with hard work and determination, anything is 
possible. To accomplish this goal the members not only have to juggle 
long practices and games, but they continue to achieve academic 
excellence. Not only are these young men excellent athletes and 
students, but they pride themselves in giving back to their community 
for all the support they have received by doing community service, 
fundraising, and school public relations.
  Fort Campbell, KY, is proud to be home to the 101st Airborne Division 
and 160th Special Operations Airborne Division. Many of the players on 
the Fort Campbell Falcons have loved ones currently serving our Nation 
abroad. I am confident that these loved ones would be proud of what the 
Falcons have accomplished this season.
  The citizens of Fort Campbell, KY, are fortunate to have the 2007 
Class 2-A State Champions and families living and learning in their 
community. Their example of hard work and determination should be 
followed by all in the Commonwealth.
  I am very proud of the accomplishments these young men have made. I 
would like to congratulate the members of the Fort Campbell High School 
Varsity football team for their success. But, also, I want to 
congratulate their peers, coaches, teachers, administrators, and 
dedicated parents for the support and sacrifices they have made to help 
the Fort Campbell High School football team make their dreams a 
reality.
