  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Flower Mound 
High School Choir. In 1999 the high school opened with the hope of 
becoming ``A World Class School Educating Tomorrow's Leaders.'' Since 
then, Newsweek Magazine named it one of the ``Top 1000 Best Public High 
Schools'' in the U.S., based on AP scores. Of the school's many 
accomplishments, none resonate quite like the Flower Mound High School 
Choir.
  The Flower Mound High School Choir regularly enjoys success at 
University Interscholastic League competitions as well as private 
competitions. Over time they have earned a slew of ``Sweepstakes'' 
awards as well as ``Best of Class'' and ``Grand Champion'' awards from 
all over the country. Students have also had the honor of performing 
throughout Europe, both at the Vatican and the Salzburg Cathedral. And 
just last week they were here in Washington D.C. to perform at the WWII 
Memorial. In their song choice, they sought to honor our nation's 
veterans.
  It is heartening to know that this burgeoning generation continues to 
hold our veterans in such high regard. I want to thank the Flower Mound 
High School Choir for coming to our nation's capitol to honor our 
veterans.
