               RECOGNIZING JACKSONVILLE NATIONAL CEMETERY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Rutherford) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
national cemeteries in Florida, especially the Jacksonville National 
Cemetery, which is in my district.
  These hallowed grounds are sacred to the families of those who have 
served our country honorably, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice 
for our freedom.
  Recently, the Department of Veterans Affairs ranked the top national 
cemeteries in the country, and I am proud to report that the 
Jacksonville National Cemetery of the Southeast District has earned the 
highest award, which was accepted by Al Richburg, the director of the 
Jacksonville National Cemetery.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Al and his wonderful team for all the work they 
do to preserve the final resting places of our Nation's military and 
creating a beautiful, peaceful, and memorable place for loved ones to 
visit.


        Congratulating West Nassau High School Cheerleading Team

  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the West 
Nassau High School Cheerleading Team, who recently won the State, 
National, and World Championships in Orlando.
  With nine State titles, the Warriors are tied for the second most 
championships in the State of Florida. In fact, this is the second year 
in a row that they have claimed the State, National, and World titles, 
and they are the first high school in Florida to do so.
  The team is spearheaded by Coach Samantha Beazley, who has led West 
Nassau to now five State championships, three National championships, 
and two World championships.
  On behalf of Florida's Fourth Congressional District, I want to 
congratulate the West Nassau Warriors on a cheerleading dynasty.
