                         Monday, July 19, 2021

  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of two 
remarkable young women from my Congressional District, Jacqueline 
Teague and Amelie Beck. After witnessing their grandparents struggle to 
sign up for the COVID-19 vaccine, Jacqueline and Amelie created the 
program VaxConnectKY to help seniors make vaccination appointments 
online. Between their classes at Sacred Heart Academy, they answered 
emails and calls from seniors across the Commonwealth and guided them 
through the vaccination process.
  Since February, Jacqueline and Amelie have helped more than 2,000 
seniors receive the COVID-19 vaccine. In recognition of this 
outstanding work, Jacqueline received the 2021 Diana Award, which 
honors young people around the world for their humanitarian efforts.
  On behalf of the people of Kentucky's Third Congressional District 
and the city of Louisville, I thank Jacqueline and Amelie, for their 
life-saving service and leadership. They are both incredible role 
models, and l have no doubt that they will continue to make our 
Commonwealth proud in their future endeavors.
