U.S. MARINE CORPS SILENT DRILL TEAM TO PERFORM AGAIN AT BIG SHANTY PARADE IN KENNESAW ON APRIL 17, 2010
Just as last year, The U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Team will march in the Big Shanty Festival Parade on Saturday morning, April 17, 2010, and again that evening at the Kennesaw Mountain High School football stadium. The performance that evening will commence at about 7:00 p.m., but if last year is any indication of the crowd that will be there this year with advance notice, you'd better get there early if you expect to get a decent seat.
City Councilman and Post 304 Legionnaire Tim Killingsworth, a Marine, is responsible for bringing this fine unit to Kennesaw for the past two years. You will not want to miss this wonderful performance.

SPEECH OF
HON. PHIL GINGREY
OF GEORGIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 2009
Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a young man from Georgia's 11th Congressional District who has distinguished himself as an excellent student and leader and has committed to serving his country. I am proud to announce that Duncan Hall from Kennesaw, Georgia has received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy.
Duncan attends North Cobb High School, where he has a 4.104 Grade Point Average and is the Vice President of the student body. Duncan is the Commanding Officer of the North Cobb and Harrison High School NJROTC Unit and has been the NJROTC Unit Academic Team Commander for the past two years. Duncan also serves as NJROTC Academic Tutor and a Character Education Advisor for Underclassman. He was presented the Theodore Roosevelt Youth Medal for Outstanding Performance of Duty in the NJROTC program by the Navy League of the United States and was selected as the Atlanta Metropolitan Navy League's 2nd runner up for Cadet of the Year. Duncan has also been recognized with the American Legion's Scholastic Achievement Medal.
In addition to Duncan's focus on academics and military preparation, he has remained very active in extracurricular activities, lettering on both North Cobb's track and cross country teams. Duncan Hall is an incredibly well-rounded young man, and I am honored to have the privilege to nominate him for an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. I ask that my colleagues take this time to congratulate Duncan as well as his parents, Duncan and Stefani Hall, for his accomplishments. It is because of dedicated young people like Duncan that America has the finest military in the world. Our nation is fortunate to have his service.
