                      CONGRATULATING JEFF HERRALA

  (Mr. EMMER of Minnesota asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Jeff 
Herrala of Andover for being named the 2015 Cadet of the Year.
  Jeff graduated first in his class from Anoka High School, where he 
excelled in both academics and athletics.
  Due to Jeff's stellar accomplishments both inside the classroom and 
out, my predecessor, Michele Bachmann, awarded Jeff with both the 
Congressional Certificate of Merit and an appointment to the United 
States Air Force Academy in 2012.
  Jeff currently attends the Air Force Academy in Colorado, where he is 
studying aeronautical engineering.
  It is clear that Jeff truly embodies one of the Air Force's core 
values: excellence. Throughout Jeff's life and academic career, he has 
demonstrated nothing short of excellence, and he is beyond deserving of 
this award.
  Jeff, I am proud to recognize you here today, and I look forward to 
seeing what the future has in store for you.
