                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 8, 2020

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Michael and Tonya Sacomani and their kids for turning the difficulties 
of social distancing and confinement into a positive.
  The Sacomani's had to quickly adapt after their family trip, a cruise 
for the kids' spring break, was canceled due to COVID-19.
  During these long days of social distancing and isolation, the 
Sacomani's turned to a camping staycation in their own backyard, which 
backs up to the Saline River.
  The Sacomani's made it their family mission to clean up as much of 
the Saline River as they can during the quarantine.
  Their list of cleaned up trash is incredible, so far including 
refrigerators, stoves, ski boats lodged in trees, a hot tub lodged in a 
tree, and hundreds of tires.
  I would like to extend a hand of gratitude to the Sacomani's for 
their worthwhile commitment to hard work, our environment and natural 
resources.
