      Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and
    congratulate Chris Hochstetler of Council Bluffs, Iowa for receiving
    the Jason Award, given by Children's Square U.S.A. The award is
    presented to individuals, couples, organizations and businesses that
    exemplify and demonstrate an extraordinary degree of caring,
    contribution, and commitment to children, families, and their
    communities.
      Chris received this honor for his vision, courage, and will in his
    personal and professional life. Chris grew up in Nebraska and graduated
    from Grand Island High School. He holds a Bachelor's of Science degree
    from the University of Maryland and a Master's degree from Walden
    University. After high school Chris joined the U.S. Army and had a
    distinguished military career, receiving the Legion of Merit, our
    nation's sixth highest military honor. Chris is also active in several
    community and nonprofit organizations including serving as the
    Executive Director of KANEKO, an arts and culture nonprofit that
    provides world class exhibitions, programs, and workshops.
      Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Chris for receiving this
    outstanding award and I am proud to recognize him today. I ask that my
    colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in
    congratulating him and in wishing him nothing but continued success.
