               RECOGNIZING THE WORK OF DANIEL T. IGLESIAS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CARLOS A. GIMENEZ

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 27, 2026

  Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
young man from Florida's 28th District, Daniel ``Danny'' T. Iglesias, 
an Eagle Scout Candidate from Boy Scout Troop 334, for his leadership, 
service, and commitment to honoring a fallen hero in our community.
  Danny began his scouting journey at just eight years old with Cub 
Scouts Pack 425 in Miami Springs and has since demonstrated the values 
of dedication, integrity, and service that define the very best of our 
next generation. In addition to his achievements in scouting, Danny is 
a junior at Christopher Columbus High School, a member of the school's 
football team, Founder and President of the Explorers for Heroes Club, 
an active participant in campus ministry, and currently holds the rank 
of Lieutenant in the City of Coral Gables Police Explorer Program.
  As part of his path of community service, Daniel has undertaken a 
meaningful and impactful service project to honor Miami Springs Police 
Officer Charles ``Bubba'' Brian Stafford, who made the ultimate 
sacrifice in the line of duty on June 11, 1991. Danny is making the 
effort to create a police memorial which will serve as a lasting 
tribute to Officer Stafford's courage and dedication, while also 
providing a place for reflection and remembrance.
  Daniel's initiative reflects not only his passion for public service 
and his aspiration to pursue a career in law enforcement, but also his 
deep respect for those who put their lives on the line to protect 
others. His project embodies the very spirit of scouting--leadership, 
perseverance, and a commitment to making a positive difference.
  I invite my colleagues to commend Daniel Iglesias for his exemplary 
service, leadership, and continued dedication to strengthening our 
community.
