                       Friday, September 11, 2015

  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Scott Glew 
of Elk River for receiving a Veterans' Voices ``On the Rise'' Award.
  Scott spent eight years in the Minnesota Army National Guard and was 
deployed to Iraq. Scott strongly believes that if we encourage students 
across the country to become more informed and active citizens, we can 
improve the future of our country. To act on this, Scott decided to 
begin his career as a social studies teacher following his service to 
our country.
  Scott has not let his passion for education stop at the classroom 
door. He is an active leader within his school district and serves on 
the Board of Directors for both the Minnesota Council for History 
Education and the Minnesota Council for the Social Studies. 
Additionally, Scott is currently in graduate school at the University 
of Minnesota researching citizenship and peace.
  I admire Scott for everything that he has done to better this country 
and his community. He is the exact type of person who should be 
teaching because he is the epitome of an excellent role model. I thank 
him for his service and for helping educate Minnesota's children. 
Scott--well done and keep up the amazing work.
