  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Mr. Todd Jacobson, a 
history teacher at Creston High School. Mr. Jacobson received the 2014-
2015 VFW High School Teacher of the Year Award.
  Mr. Jacobson received this award after being nominated by fellow 
teacher and 2009 award recipient, Lesa Downing. Mr. Jacobson served 
overseas during the Gulf War, and now says that he believes that there 
are no two greater professions, no more honorable professions than to 
have been a soldier and a teacher. He feels fortunate to have been able 
to do both. Todd plans to use his monetary award to provide a seating 
area at Creston's Freedom Rock in honor of his late father-in-law, 
Wilbur Chubick, who served in the Navy during the early 1950s.
  I applaud and congratulate Todd Jacobson for his award, for providing 
the youth in Iowa's 3rd congressional district the education that they 
will need to be successful in the future and for serving our country 
during the Gulf

War. I am proud to represent him, his family and his fellow teachers 
and students in the United States Congress. I know that my colleagues 
join me in congratulating Todd Jacobson and wishing him well and 
continued success in the future.
