  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent of 
the 26th District of Texas, Destinee Richardson. Miss Richardson is a 
9th grader at Little Elm High School, and is the Texas Youth Ambassador 
for North Texas. As a Youth Ambassador, she has learned important 
lessons about discipleship, forgiveness, trust, and love.
  The Million Youth Peace March International will take place next 
weekend in Washington, D.C. Leaders from across the globe will gather 
to support world peace and encourage others to cease teen-on-teen 
violence, childhood obesity, and drug and alcohol abuse. Participants 
will march to encourage youth to express themselves in non-violent 
ways. I thank Destinee Richardson for her service, and am proud to 
represent her in Congress.
