  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Derek Riemer who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Derek Riemer is an 8th grader at Oberon 
Middle School and received this award because his determination and 
hard work have allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Derek Riemer is exemplary of the type 
of achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It 
is essential that students at all levels strive to make the most of 
their education and develop a work ethic that will guide them for the 
rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Derek Riemer for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication he has shown in his 
academic career to his future accomplishments.
