  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.
