“I'd like to honor, today, a group of hometown heros from Corpus Christi, Texas, the Corpus Christi Universal Little League team. Universal made it to the Little League World Series this year in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, after they won the Southwest Regional Tournament. These young men showcased their talents on an international stage, defeating teams from Australia and Canada. They received a grand welcome back to Corpus Christi along Shoreline Boulevard with a parade, where my district director, Bob Haueter, presented them with a flag flown over the United States Capitol and a letter of congratulations from me. They are an inspiration to young men and women throughout Texas and America. This summer they saw and demonstrated that hard work pays off. It's a feeling I know they will carry with them for many years to come. Way to go, Universal. ____________________”
