  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Jin Lee, a resident of Woodbridge, who is representing Virginia at the 
National Youth Art Month event, ``School Flags Across the U.S. . . . 
Flying High.''
  Jin is a talented 10th grade student from Forest Park High School in 
Prince William County. He is being recognized along with participants 
from every other state in the Youth Art Month flag design program. Jin 
and the rest of the winners will be honored at the Library of Congress 
on March 25, 2010. Jin will be attending the ceremony with his family 
and his teacher.
  The Council for Art Education sponsors National Youth Art Month, an 
advocacy program held each March to emphasize the value of art and art 
education for all children. Students from all over the country 
participate in the Youth Art Month flag design program with each state 
selecting the flag that best represents their state and the creative 
spirit of Youth Art Month.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Jin 
Lee and all the winners of the Youth Art Month flag design program. I 
also want to recognize every participant for symbolizing the creative 
spirit of our youth. Their efforts in promoting the importance of art 
education in this country deserve our highest praise.
