                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 21, 2006

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate a young man 
from Greenwood Village, Colorado, Mr. Joshua Marc Jacobson. Joshua 
recently earned a Congressional Award Gold Medal.
  The Congressional Award program challenges talented young men and 
women to be active in their communities, develop leadership skills, and 
challenge themselves physically and to go on expeditions domestically 
or internationally.
  Josh completed over 400 hours of community service with the most 
rewarding project being a food drive that he organized as the chapter 
president of Future Business Leaders of America. His personal 
development goals were achieved through part-time work with local 
businesses. There he was able to develop skills in leadership that he 
will be taking with him as an intern for a U.S. Congressional Campaign 
this summer. Josh completed his physical fitness requirements by 
playing varsity tennis in high school, after years of hard work to 
achieve his goal. Josh also took a six week long trip to Israel and 
Poland to complete his expedition requirements.
  Josh should be commended for his commitment to community and his 
desire to become a future leader. I wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
