                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 7, 2014

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the winners of the 
Historical Society of Winslow Township's Veterans Day 2013 Student 
Essay Contest.
  These nine students, attending Winslow Township Middle School and 
Winslow Township High School, wrote essays answering the question ``How 
would you thank a soldier for his/her service?'' The moving prose of 
these young men and women is a testament to the patriotic spirit of the 
citizens of South Jersey. Moreover, these students' awareness of the 
sacrifices of our military and their families is precocious and 
praiseworthy.
  For that reason, Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to submit the names of 
the winners to the Congressional Record. From the 7th grade class: 
Mary-Elizabeth Jimoh, 1st Place; Jordan Frazier, 2nd Place; Morgan 
Chambliss, 3rd Place. From the 8th grade class: Kelli O'Neill, 1st 
Place; Deanna Paul, 2nd Place; Aliyah Jones, 3rd Place. From Winslow 
Township High School: senior Rebecca Hall, 1st Place; sophomore Joshua 
Hansen, 2nd Place; senior Amanda Wellik, 3rd Place.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate these young men and women on 
having their essays selected by the Historical Society of Winslow 
Township. These students have bright futures ahead of them. It is my 
sincere hope that they will carry this abiding respect for the military 
and service with them as they continue to learn and grow.
