  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, recently, students from 
Dent Middle School in Columbia competed in the South Carolina History 
Day regional competition at the South Carolina State Museum.
  Their presentation topics ranged from politics and government to 
historical discussions on some of our nation's greatest Presidents. I 
am honored to say that eight remarkable students from the Second 
District won awards during this competition and will compete in the 
national competition this June.
  Tessa Giusto won in the Junior Historical Paper category for her work 
discussing Plato and Locke and how they influenced U.S. politics. 
Hannah Hedley won in the Junior Individual Documentary category for her 
entry on Oskar Schindler. Sofia Crowley and Gabby Snow won in the 
Junior Individual Performance category for their project on Japan. And 
finally, Katie Pittman, Lauren Price, McKenna Wright, and Mariya 
Medvedchikova won in the Junior Exhibit Group for their project on 
Adolf Hitler.
  Congratulations to these students, their principal Dr. David Basile 
and teacher Ms. Jill Carroll.
  In conclusion, God Bless Our Troops and may the President by his 
actions never forget September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
