Recognizing Steven Walker

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding contributions that Steven Walker has made to the community through his work at CREST in Lecanto. Steven created a food drive as a class project to help local Veterans. This food drive was used to educate the students about the struggling Veterans in the community and to teach about the importance of service to others. This project has also opened their hearts to lend a helping hand to others in need. The students look forward to this food drive every year and have such pride in participating. The students also speak around the town to spread the word about the food drive and garner support. For students struggling with physical and or mental health limitations, this program has been an invaluable tool for teaching about citizenship.

It is clear Steven Walker has made a profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am grateful for his service. May we all strive to serve our communities with the same dedication and humility.
