Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Faith Gomez of Jamestown, Wyoming on her remarkable first-place finish in the Freedom250 National Student Art Contest. This competition held in honor of our country's historic 250th anniversary challenged students across the states and territories to select an American hero who shaped the Nation today. Participants submitted an original artwork accompanied by a written essay supporting their selection. Faith chose to honor America's first native-born Catholic saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, for her grand-prize winning Freedom250 American Heroes Student Art Contest. Faith's first-place finish earned her and her family a trip to Washington D.C. where her artwork and artist statement went on display at the Great American State Fair for spectators from around the world to see. I congratulate Faith and thank her for making Wyoming proud.
