  Mr. WOODALL. Mr. Speaker, I proudly submit this statement

16th annual Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Program.
  The Prudential Spirit of Community Program is an annual honor 
conferred on the most impressive volunteers in each State and the 
District of Columbia.
  Miss Burns, age 17, of Monroe, Georgia, was nominated by her school, 
Monroe Area High School, for her work in raising more than $16,000 for 
the American Cancer Society through the ``Team Burns Charitable 
Foundation,'' an organization started in memory of Miss Burns' father.
  Mr. Orgbon, age 15, of Dacula, Georgia, was nominated by Mill Creek 
High School for founding ``Greening Forward,'' a national environmental 
awareness campaign, which he started in 2008.
  Both of these individuals possess a servant's heart and a leader's 
mind. Ms. Burns and Mr. Orgbon should be proud to have been singled out 
from close to 29,000 volunteers who participated in this year's 
program. They are not only making a positive impact on our communities, 
but they are setting the standard for their peers and for future 
generations of young Americans.
