Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Uncle Sam, also known as Pastor Terry Horn, on his longstanding and excellent work serving the children of our northeast Florida community. Pastor Terry and his wife, Cynthia, run an organization called Metro City Kids, which teaches hope, healing, and patriotism to at-risk youth in inner-city Jacksonville. They teach a faith-based program that is focused on Biblical truths, moral values, good manners, and citizenship. Uncle Sam and Cynthia are truly making a difference.

Thank you to Uncle Sam for making northeast Florida a safer and happier place for our youth. ____________________
