  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the city of Lakewood, Colorado on their fortieth birthday.
  For forty years, the city of Lakewood has celebrated its birthday in 
an arts and music celebration appropriately named Lakewood on Parade. 
Families from all parts of the city and surrounding areas come together 
with their friends and neighbors to enjoy this celebration. I, myself, 
along with my family, have attended Lakewood on Parade for many years. 
I am honored to recognize the Lakewood on Parade birthday celebration 
for helping Lakewood bring families together to enjoy this beautiful 
city.
  Lakewood is the fourth largest city in Colorado and is located just 
west of Denver, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It is home to 
many historical sites of the old West making it a city rich in history. 
Families, friends, and neighbors truly live in a special place in 
Colorado and it is reflected in the Lakewood on Parade birthday 
celebration.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to the city of Lakewood for 
achieving their fortieth birthday.
