                     REMEMBERING CALEB LOGAN COOKE

  (Mr. FLEISCHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Caleb 
Logan Cooke. Caleb was born January 22, 1997, and passed away Saturday, 
December 1, 2012, at the age of 15. Caleb was a blessing to his parents 
and entire family from the day God placed him on His Earth. Though life 
was often a struggle for Caleb, he met every challenge head-on and 
always with a thoughtful and caring disposition. He was an accomplished 
Boy Scout, earned his black belt in tae kwon do, and was recognized for 
having the highest GPA in his freshman class.
  In addition to all of his high school and extracurricular 
accomplishments, Caleb was engaged politically and always ready to 
discuss the day's news. A civically active young man, he was truly a 
shining example of our youth. Most of all, Caleb was a good friend to 
my son, Jeffrey, a delightful son to his parents, a loving sibling to 
his sister and brothers, a blessing to his entire family.
  Caleb will be missed by all and always remembered.
