“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize September 1 as Constitution Day of the Slovak Republic, commemorating the adoption of Slovakia's Constitution in 1992. A constitution is more than a legal document. It is a people's decision to govern themselves under law and to place limits on the power of government.”

“The bill also addresses the Arkansas Valley Conduit by giving southeastern Colorado communities greater flexibility in repaying the government. Congress has already spoken clearly on this issue. The underlying legislation previously passed both Chambers unanimously. My Colorado colleagues and I have kept pushing because these communities have waited decades for the Federal Government to keep its commitment. Water infrastructure is not abstract in rural Colorado. It means whether small towns can manage floods, whether communities have reliable water systems, and whether longstanding commitments to communities are actually honored. I thank Chairman Graves, Ranking Member Larsen, Chairman Collins, Ranking Member Wilson, and their staffs for their bipartisan work on this legislation.”

“Following decades of Communist rule, the Slovak people helped build a free, democratic republic grounded in constitutional government and in the rule of law. Today, Slovakia is a friend and NATO ally of the United States. Our Nations share strong ties in security, trade, energy, and diplomacy. Generations of Slovak Americans have made that friendship deeper still. Mr. Speaker, on Constitution Day, I congratulate the Slovak people and celebrate the freedom, self-government, and enduring friendship that bind our two nations. ____________________”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize September 1 as Constitution Day of the Slovak Republic, commemorating the adoption of Slovakia's Constitution in 1992. A constitution is more than a legal document. It is a people's decision to govern themselves under law and to place limits on the power of government. That principle has a particular meaning in Slovakia.”

“Patrick became the first person with Parkinson's to row the mid- Pacific. Along the way, he and his teammates raised more than $41 million for Parkinson's research. Patrick's story reminds us that courage is not measured by the obstacles that we face but by our determination to keep moving forward. I am proud to represent Patrick Morrissey and his family, whose example has inspired countless others. ____________________”

“I wish Dennis a well-earned retirement, and I thank him for his service to readers on the Western Slope. Recognizing Patrick Morrissey Mr. HURD of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Patrick Morrissey, a Colorado Hall of Fame wrestler whose great achievement came long after the wrestling mat. Patrick was a Colorado State champion and an All-American, but in 2019, at just 48 years old, he was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease. Rather than retreat, he leaned into the same determination that defined him as an athlete. In June 2024, Patrick joined a four-man crew to row 2,800 miles across the Pacific Ocean, from California to Hawaii. For 41 days, he battled towering waves, relentless winds, and the daily challenges of Parkinson's before reaching the shores of Kauai.”

“Within a year, electricity reached 250 homes and farms for the very first time. What many Coloradans already took for granted transformed lives across Mesa County. Today, Grand Valley Power serves more than 18,000 members across the county. It remains not for profit, member owned, and rooted in the same cooperative spirit that inspired its founders nine decades ago. Ninety years is a testament not only to a successful electric cooperative but to the enduring power of neighbors working together to strengthen their communities. I am proud to recognize Grand Valley Power and everyone who carried that mission forward. Recognizing Dennis Webb Mr. HURD of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dennis Webb, who is retiring after nearly 20 years of covering the environment and natural resources for the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.”

“Speaker, I rise today to recognize Juan Agredano and his family, owners of C & J Cafe in Delta, Colorado, a community institution that has served Western Slope families since the 1980s. When I visited last month, I was welcomed the same way every customer is: like family. This is no accident. It is the culture that Juan; his wife, Robin; and their daughter, Jennifer, have built through decades of showing up for their community day after day. C & J Cafe is the kind of place that doesn't just feed people. It brings them together. Whether it is the legendary cinnamon rolls, said to be the largest in Delta County, or simply the warmth at the door, the Agredanos have made their restaurant a cornerstone of community life. When the challenges of COVID threatened restaurants across the country, Juan and Jennifer kept showing up.”

“Chief Warrant Officer 5 Mike Antinora and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Josh Friederichs flew their Black Hawk helicopter at the limits of its capabilities, hovering at 14,380 feet, while Sergeant Noah Jordan and Staff Sergeant Jake Beehler worked the hoist, lowering 180 feet of cable to reach where no one else could. They brought that hiker home safely. This is what our National Guard does not just in combat overseas but here at home when no one else can answer the call. I am proud to recognize Chief Warrant Officer Antinora, Chief Warrant Officer Friederichs, Sergeant Jordan, Staff Sergeant Beehler, and rescue technicians Gerrit Padgham and Steven Gosselin. Colorado is safer because of their service. {time} 1115 Recognizing C & J Cafe Mr. HURD of Colorado. Mr.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Colorado Army National Guard aviators who saved a life on one of Colorado's most challenging peaks. Earlier this year, a hiker was stranded on Crestone Peak, more than 14,000 feet above sea level. Flight for Life cannot reach that altitude. Ground crews could not reach this hiker. The mission fell to our Colorado Army National Guard aviators.”

“Mission after mission, they fly into smoke and over rugged terrain so ground crews can gain the upper hand and communities have a fighting chance. Nicholas is the fourth firefighter to lose his life battling Colorado wildfires this past month. His death is a sobering reminder of the risks wildland firefighters and aviators face every time they take to the sky or fire line. Mr. Speaker, few Coloradans will ever see their faces, but everyone benefits from their courage. We thank them sincerely. ____________________”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Nicholas Dale, who gave his life battling the Gold Mountain fire in southwestern Colorado. On July 12, Nicholas was piloting a firefighting helicopter when his aircraft went down in Silver Jack Reservoir. He was 56 years old and had traveled from Sooke, British Columbia, to help protect a State that was not his own. We owe an enormous debt to aerial firefighters like Nicholas.”

“Even so, they remained on the line, working to protect their neighbors and the town they call home. That choice says more about their character than any words I could offer today. It reflects courage, duty, and the deeply rooted sense of community that defines Beulah and so much of Colorado's Third District. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the Beulah Volunteer Fire Department and to thank every firefighter who chose service to others over personal loss. ____________________”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the volunteer firefighters of Beulah, Colorado, for their extraordinary service during the Aspen Acres fire in Pueblo County. When shifting winds drove the fire toward the town of Beulah, the town's 22-member volunteer fire department stood between the flames and their community. Several firefighters lost their own homes during this fire.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of a great Coloradan and a true American patriot, Rick Dunlap. Rick's story is one of resilience, courage, and service. Born into poverty in Tennessee, he answered the call of duty at just 18, serving two tours in Vietnam as a door gunner with the 101st Airborne Division.”
