  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jaime Wilson of 
Katy, TX for receiving the Citizenship Education Teachers of the Year 
Award from the Katy VFW Post 9182.
  Jaime, a history teacher at Seven Lakes High School received the 
award from the Katy VFW for incorporating and advocating for veterans 
into her classroom. Ms. Wilson has continually asked veterans to speak 
to her students about their experiences in times of conflict. She was 
presented the Citizenship Education Teachers of the Year Award by 
Vietnam war veteran Stephen Brady, of the Katy VFW Post. Jaime began 
teaching at Seven Lakes in 2007 and met Brady at the Katy Rice Harvest 
Festival. Since then, she has welcomed Brady and other veterans into 
her classroom to help Katy ISD students better understand the Vietnam 
war and issues affecting our nation's veterans. She has also advocated 
for more veteran guest speakers at Cinco Ranch and Tompkins High 
Schools.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Jaime Wilson for receiving The Citizenship 
Education Teachers of the Year Award. Her efforts to champion veterans 
and educate the youth of TX-22 is crucial to our growth and character 
as a society. I thank you, Ms. Wilson.
