                       Wednesday, April 27, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Hannah Larson of Minden, Iowa, for being awarded the Good 
Citizen Award by the Council Bluffs Chapter of the National Society 
Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). Hannah is a senior at 
TriCenter High School in Neola, Iowa.
  Hannah exhibited all of the talents and skills needed to qualify for 
this award. They include dependability, service to others, leadership, 
and patriotism. Judges took into consideration several areas in grading 
her application including high school achievement, home and community 
activities, future plans, extra-curricular activities, and good 
citizenship. A second requirement was to write an essay on Our American 
Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It. The essay was to 
focus on American rights and freedoms and the rights she would select 
to celebrate. Hannah was chosen to advance and represent the Council 
Bluffs Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American 
Revolution (DAR) in the southwest Iowa district competition.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Hannah for earning this 
award. She is a shining example of the future of our youth. I ask that 
my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Hannah for her interest in preserving our rights and 
freedoms. I wish her continued success in all her future endeavors.
