                        Tuesday, August 7, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Milan Post 
569's baseball team for winning the Illinois American Legion third 
division tournament.
  Milan Post 569's team defeated Oneida Legion Post 727 2-1 to advance 
to the state tournament for the first time, and I would like to 
recognize the team for their tremendous accomplishment. The team's 
dedication and passion for their sport is evident in their quest for 
victory at the tournament. As a former athlete, I understand the amount 
of hard work and commitment to be awarded such a title. They are an 
example of the importance of dedication and a strong work ethic. I am 
proud there is such talent in our community, and to see them represent 
Milan throughout the state.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate the Milan 
Post 569's baseball team on their title, and I join the rest of the 
community in wishing them every success in the future.

                          ____________________
