  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of an 
outstanding young woman from my district, Susan Suber, who was recently 
named the District 1 Young Marine of the Year for a second year in a 
row. Young Marines District 1 is a region that encompasses 9 
Northeastern U.S. states. Susan is a member of the Spartan Young 
Marines located in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, is a resident of 
Pipersville, Pennsylvania, and is currently a junior at Central Bucks 
East High School. Suber will proudly represent Division 1

in competition with five other division winners for the title of 
National Young Marine of the Year, the highest honor bestowed by the 
Young Marines organization nationally.
  The Young Marines is a national non-profit youth education and 
service program for boys and girls, age eight through high school 
graduation. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical 
development of its members. The program focuses on teaching the values 
of leadership, teamwork, and self-discipline, so its members can live 
and promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
  Suber joined the Young Marines at age nine and she currently holds 
the rank of Young Marine Sergeant Major. Over her eight years in the 
program, Suber has attended all three leadership schools available from 
Young Marines, and went on to teach leadership at some of these schools 
as an alumna.
  Outside of Young Marines, Suber is busy with many hours spent as a 
Toys for Tots Mentor and Youth Ambassador. In this position she helped 
to inspire and teach fellow Youth Ambassador's not only about the 
program but how they can get more involved in the campaign and grow as 
leaders. This past year she was named one of the Youth Ambassador 
Mentors of the year on behalf of the Toys for Tots organization. In 
addition to her Toys for Tots national leadership, she is also a leader 
in her high school's vocational education program, assisting the school 
with teaching plans and curriculum development.
  After high school, Suber plans to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps in 
the field of aviation. I wish her the best of luck in her endeavors, 
and I know that she will serve her community and country well.
