  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Barbara and Michael Gartner. Barbara and Michael have been 
recognized as Heroes for the Homeless by the Central Iowa Shelter and 
Services.

of Des Moines, volunteering their time as board members, fund-raisers 
and philanthropists. They have been advocates for the less fortunate 
and have worked extensively to transform the Des Moines area, making it

work and raise a family. Every year, Central Iowa Shelter and Services 
recognizes its ``Heroes'' who have significantly given time and 
financial support to address homelessness in our communities. Barbara 
and Michael deserve to be commended for their active role in reducing 
the number of homeless in the Central Iowa Community.
  I applaud and congratulate Barbara and Michael for this award and for 
providing their tireless support for the homeless in Iowa's Third 
Congressional District. I am proud to represent them in the United 
States Congress. I know that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Barbara and Michael; we wish them well with continued 
success in the future.
