           RECOGNIZING SIMEON TORONTO'S COMMITMENT TO SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHELE BACHMANN

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 26, 2013

  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Simeon 
Toronto of Andover, Minnesota on his election as the 67th president of 
the American Legion Boys Nation.
   At only 17 years old, he has an impressive record. Not only is he 
the first Minnesotan in more than two decades to be elected president 
of the American Legion Boys Nation, but he is also captain of his high 
school's boy's cross country and track teams, president of the student 
council and an Eagle Scout.
   With a giving heart and a focus on serving those around him, Simeon 
is a shining example of a true Minnesota spirit. Our country would 
benefit from more young men as dedicated and accomplished as Simeon.
   I know I speak for my constituents when I say we are so proud of 
this young man and look forward to seeing what's to come in his bright 
future.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that this Body recognize Simeon's tremendous 
accomplishments and congratulate him as he begins this new journey.

                          ____________________
