\"Kudos to them,\" Jones Giltner said, noting the team won the Henlopen South division, the Henlopen championship and the Division II state tournament over Saint Andrews. She explained that winning those three trophies is known in soccer as a \"treble\" and said the accomplishment is the second time since 1995 that a public school has won back-to-back titles in that combination.

The team — from Sussex Academy in Georgetown with players from surrounding communities — stood in the chamber as members recognized the achievement. As is House tradition, players were asked individually to state their name, grade and position for the permanent record; goalkeeper CJ Norton identified himself as a 12th-grade goalkeeper.

Coach Robert Deena Jr. and the players received applause from members. The House proceeded with other business after the recognition.","The Delaware House recognized Sussex Academy's boys soccer team on March 13 after the team won the Henlopen South division, the Henlopen championship and the Division II state tournament, a 'treble' noted by legislators.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277072,"American Legion national commander urges more support for veterans, highlights suicide prevention",339,1457000,1796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2657798-6dfce72a6b1ad4ea73ef2a2338f063fd&start=1457&end=1796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2657798-6dfce72a6b1ad4ea73ef2a2338f063fd/thumbnail_1457000.jpg","/articles/6277072/Delaware/American-Legion-national-commander-urges-more-support-for-veterans-highlights-suicide-prevention","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277072-14c41eedfbb943c2bcdad22242140410/orig.mp4?Expires=1776637044&Signature=lPOKlq0bnbiS1GfeSl62kDeSlJFlQlqQSevtF3M04wfLQjHrPmc~s5BnmRHJ2eChqtGb5skiAiegqtE0LsYhKkWfq1gq5SDAG9t3588bKKyvpKOeTi-ZTJ8rSFjiU1gxtNKo~IvQrldjce7eIa6soBZdHSI7Yq6G9MfzPpo-HmTVcorsPjRDbUPsJT5tOkQLNXXvQk~IeM4g-L-2SCBmF0jamSiVcyPSoVEJCraXHOVwfbTi~VB7Aj3xhC1oGpczDcwg2yLXZog9vWQIsRctnlc0nRLeOR9k5oEfvVZJ-GI8aKNqnaD1-kB~WHOYXxP9QVGVBgj3BYWQQezfml~X0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The American Legion National Commander addressed the Delaware House on March 13, urging lawmakers to support veterans and highlighting suicide-prevention work.

James A. LaCour, American Legion National Commander, told members he recently testified before Congress and praised Delaware’s work on veterans’ issues. \"The current military and veterans residing in the great state of Delaware are worth every honor, every benefit, every accolade that this state can bestow upon them,\" LaCour said, and urged lawmakers to back approaches that could prevent veteran suicide.

Representative Holofsky urged legislation to strengthen veterans' services, identifying House Bill 1 as a vehicle to create a cabinet-level position focused on veterans. \"House bill 1 is for a cabinet secretary. In order to get the veterans the benefits that they have earned, we certainly would like to have somebody at the seat, a seat of power,\" Holofsky said. Representative Carson, also a veteran, said the goal was to \"make every day Veterans Day\" and thanked members and guests for attending.

LaCour described recent visits to Dover-area military units and the VA Medical Center and expressed the American Legion's readiness to assist state leaders on veterans issues. His remarks followed floor recognition of veterans and preceded separate ceremonial resolutions honoring individual veterans.","The American Legion National Commander addressed the Delaware House on March 13, 2025, praising state efforts for veterans and urging measures to prevent veteran suicide.

The resolution was read on third and final reading by title only and carried by a voice vote. \"All in favor of House Concurrent Resolution number 14, please signify by saying aye,\" the clerk said; the ayes were recorded and the resolution was cleared to pass the House.
