  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Igancio 
``Nash'' Cantu and his devotion to enriching the lives of people with 
disabilities in my district. Nash, a resident of Carrollton, TX who 
works as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) at Mosaic in Dallas, was 
recently named by the American Network for Community Options and 
Resources (ANCOR) as Texas' Direct Support Professional of the Year for 
2013.
  DSPs across the nation are vital in helping people with significant 
disabilities lead a healthier and more meaningful life. This award

honors only those DSPs who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to 
bettering the lives of the individuals they serve. Thanks to Nash's 
incredible work, the people he supports have a greater opportunity to 
participate and contribute in their community. I am extremely grateful 
to have Nash as a constituent and am very proud to recognize his 
devoted service to the people of my district and the state of Texas.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 24th Congressional District of Texas, I 
ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
amazing work of Igancio ``Nash'' Cantu. We must always honor those who 
devote themselves to enriching the lives of others.
