the Devil Pups Youth Program for America. Mr. Borcherdt was twice

tremendously helped his community. Previously, he was the President of

  Mr. Borcherdt, known for his optimism, emphasized his motto: ``onward 
and upward''. He will also truly be remembered for his countless and 
endless service to his county and his community. I am confident that 
his passion and love for his country will serve as an inspiration for 
millions of people.
