  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Maccabi USA 
men's soccer team for competing in the USA 2018 King Cup tournament in 
Las Vegas, Nevada to honor our great American hero Martin Luther King, 
Jr.
  Twenty men from Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, 
New York, and Pennsylvania achieved an undefeated record of 4 wins, no 
losses and 2 draws, scoring 15 goals and allowing 6 against to earn the 
silver medal in the 2018 King Cup. The team consisted of the following 
individuals: Scott Agran, David Alhadeff, Gary (Gazza) Bernstein 
(Cptn.), Bob Boone, Scott Cohen, Jeff Cohn, Ed Harris, Stuart 
Hochberger (Cptn.), Dan (Indy) Indech, Don Kent, Ken Kramer, Ramin 
Lalezari, Jess Mogul, David Parks, Keith Silverman, David Stone, 
Lawrence Swerner, Mark (Wiz) Wisnevitz, and was managed by Steve 
(Goldy) Goldenring and Dan Kurtz.
  Maccabi USA is a 501c(3) not-for-profit organization with an 
extensive history of enriching Jewish lives through athletic, cultural 
and educational programs. Maccabi USA supports Jewish athletic 
endeavors enhanced by cultural and educational opportunities in the 
United States, Israel and throughout the world. These 20 men exemplify 
this great ideal.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to the Maccabi USA men's soccer 
team for their dedication, hard work and competitive spirit.
