                         CELEBRATING LAKE COMO

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Fort Worth's own 
Lake Como community for winning the celebrated Neighborhood of the Year 
award.
  This is a neighborhood that I know well because this is the 
neighborhood that my family was raised in.
  This recognition is given out by the nonprofit Neighborhoods USA, an 
organization that awards neighborhoods and communities that love where 
they live.
  The Lake Como community is an amazing community that has been a part 
of Fort Worth for decades and decades now, a community with attorneys, 
with retired teachers, with servicepeople, a variety of different 
professions that really make this west Fort Worth community amazing.
  We do an annual Fourth of July parade that is attended by thousands. 
Sometimes, you would be sitting on your porch, like I would sit on my 
grandmother's porch, and somebody may come by on horseback in the 
middle of one of the Nation's largest cities. That is the type of 
community it is.
  It is a community with dozens of churches and other civic 
organizations that make them worthy of this award.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Lake Como on getting this award because 
it is well deserved.
