                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 19, 2013

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, the Congressional Awards recognize four 
avenues of individual growth--community service, physical fitness, 
exploration, and personal development--and how the fulfillment of these 
goals forms balanced and promising young citizens.
  In their pursuit of these goals, recipients of the Congressional 
Awards have gained new skills and greater confidence. For many, these 
projects will be the cornerstone for future endeavors, further 
enriching their lives and encouraging others to follow their lead.
  The recipients of the 2013 Congressional Awards set the finest 
example and demonstrate dedication to improving their communities and 
the Nation as a whole.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, it is my privilege to 
recognize the honored recipients of the 2013 Congressional Award Gold 
Medal--the highest achievement for America's youth:
