  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable and an intrepid man; one who has served as a father figure 
to many of the children of Crystal Springs, Mississippi; Mr. Kenneth 
Coleman. Mr. Coleman, a lifelong resident of Crystal Springs, 
Mississippi is husband and devoted father to two biological sons. Mr. 
Coleman graduated from Crystal Springs High School in 1991 and received 
his Bachelors of Science Degree in Recreation from Alcorn State 
University in 1998.
  Mr. Coleman serves as a volunteer coach for both Crystal Springs 
Middle and High School football and basketball teams. Mr. Coleman's 
commitment to the children of Crystal Springs is of no small 
consequence; under his direction the children learn a sense of 
sportsmanship, comradery and teamwork.
  Mr. Coleman is employed as a conservation officer with the 
Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and Parks and is also 
a member of the Sanderson Masonic Lodge #22 in Crystal Springs. Mr. 
Coleman is a very active member of the Jerusalem Missionary Baptist 
Church, where he serves as chairman of the deacon board and is a member 
of the choir.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in commending Mr. 
Kenneth Coleman for serving as a role model and inspiration to the 
children of Crystal Springs, Mississippi.
