 HONORING THE LAKE HIGHLANDS EXCHANGE CLUB AND LAKE HIGHLANDS MILITARY 
                                  MOMS

  (Mr. HENSARLING asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the Lake Highlands 
Exchange Club and Rhonda Russell, founder of the Lake Highlands 
Military Moms. Rhonda formed Military Moms so that mothers could meet 
once a month to exchange stories, updates, and photographs of their 
children serving our Nation in uniform overseas.
  Recently, these two groups joined together to ensure that our 
servicemen and women received the local recognition they deserved for 
their heroic efforts. For example, they created posters for display 
throughout the Lake Highlands Community featuring photographs of 54 men 
and women serving our Nation in uniform. Additionally, they ensure that 
every returning servicemember is publicly honored at the Exchange Club 
meetings.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth District of Texas, I'm honored to 
be able to recognize the Lake Highlands Exchange Club and Lake 
Highlands Military Moms for their continued efforts in honoring our 
heroes in uniform.
