U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland congratulates the Columbus Little League team for World Championship victory in the Little League World Series.
"On Monday, a team of young boys put an international spotlight on the athletic excellence of Columbus, Georgia, and we couldn't be more proud of their incredible accomplishment," Westmoreland said. "This is a day of celebration for Columbus, but they weren't just representing us on that field; they were representing the entire United States - that in itself is amazing.
"When Congress returns into session, I will introduce a House resolution to honor the championship team and place the name of each and every member of the team into the Congressional Record. It's an honor they deserve. They have earned their eternal place in sports history and I'll make sure they get a place in congressional history as the American Champions and as the World Champions.
"Sometimes, big stars come in small packages. Today, we all get to glow a little bit because of the stars in our midst."
