Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a student from my district, Logan Catalanotto. I hope I got that right, Logan. If I butchered it, I am so sorry. But thank you, Logan, for your meaningful contribution to our community. At just 17 years old, and a senior at Forest High School in Ocala, Logan decided to make his Eagle Scouts project an upgrade to the State Flag Commons area of the Ocala-Marion Veterans Memorial Park. His troop, Scout Troop 72 of Ocala, has held events at the park over the last 2 years, and Logan decided to give back to the community by beautifying the memorial park. The project, being an estimated $32,000 worth of upgrades, is one that you typically don't get to see from someone as young as Logan, a project that he initiated. His service to the veteran community has not gone unnoticed by the citizens of Ocala, as many have expressed great gratitude toward Logan for his dedication to the project. It is acts of benevolence like these that truly restore faith in America's young people to spread kindness and do the right thing. I could not be prouder of Logan for being a driver of positive change, generosity, and patriotism. Thank you, Logan, for your service to the veteran community and to Florida's Third Congressional District. Honoring the Lives and Service of Sergeant Noel Ramirez and Deputy Sheriff Taylor Lindsey
