                         HONORING DOUG PEDERSON

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. THOMAS MacARTHUR

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 5, 2018

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor Doug Pederson of 
Moorestown, New Jersey, head coach of the World Champion Philadelphia 
Eagles. Doug Pederson led the Philadelphia Eagles to win their first 
Super Bowl championship in a thrilling game against the New England 
Patriots.
  Doug and his family first moved to Moorestown in 2009 as Assistant 
Coach for the Eagles and then returned to the community in 2015, when 
he became Head Coach. We are glad to have him back home in South 
Jersey.
  Doug played quarterback for the Eagles in 1999, and he also played 
for the Green Bay Packers where he won a Super Bowl.
  He has had an inspiring career and exemplifies the meaning of working 
hard and bringing people together with a common goal. Doug is a family 
man, a man of character, and a man of faith. His hard work has given 
his community a joy not felt before.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of New Jersey's Third Congressional District 
are tremendously proud to have Doug Pederson as a member of our 
community. It is my honor to recognize his outstanding accomplishment 
of leading the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory 
and I know many of my constituents feel the same way.
