                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 4, 2009

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Andrey Danilson, a 13-
year-old seventh-grade student from Sacred Heart School in Boone, Iowa.
  Andrey recently won the Boone Lions Club ``Peace Poster Contest.'' 
Each day, Sacred Heart students take time to pray, and Andrey has taken 
it upon himself to focus on peace. Using his passion for art to further 
the cause for world peace, Andrey's art advanced to the state level of 
competition after it won the district level.
  Adopted from Russia less than four years ago and unable to speak 
English at the time, Andrey's success in art and dedication to 
important causes serve as a wonderful example of the promise of today's 
youth as tomorrow's leaders. I am proud to represent Andrey Danilson, 
his family, teachers and classmates in the United States Congress, and 
I know that all my colleagues join me in congratulating Andrey on his 
success and commending him for his devotion to peace and making a 
positive difference.
