HON. JAIME HERRERA BEUTLER

in the house of representatives
Wednesday, June 30, 2021
Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Elaina Koenig, from Ethel, Washington for being awarded the Congressional Award Gold Medal.
Every year, the Congressional Award Foundation honors a select number of young Americans with Congress' highest honor--The Congressional Award Gold Medal. The award encourages our youth to set ambitious goals and put in the work and dedication to achieve them.
Elaina completed 800 hours to hone her skills in four areas: Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development, Physical Fitness, and Expedition/Exploration activities. Her commitment and dedication to her goals are exactly why Elaina is being recognized for this prestigious award.
Once again, I want to congratulate Elaina on receiving this honor and I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
