                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Laura Seward for her leadership, hard work and dedication on behalf of 
the 2015-2016 Veterans History Project documentary film produced by the 
students and faculty of Westminster High School in Westminster, 
Colorado.
   The film, MEDIC!, highlights the stories of five brave veterans who 
served their country and their fellow veterans as combat medics. The 
Veterans History Project is a congressionally chartered project that 
works to collect, preserve and make accessible personal accounts of 
American war veterans. The stories of these veterans will forever be 
preserved in the Library of Congress American Folklife Center. Laura 
and her students were an integral part of the film helping to provide 
b-roll photos along with designing all graphics and interactive media.
   Laura earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography and 
digital art and her K-12 Art Education Licensure from Metropolitan 
State College in Denver in 2008. Since then she has worked as the 
graphic design, interactive media and digital photography teacher at 
Westminster High School where she has increased enrollment in the 
program by 200 percent.
   I extend my deepest appreciation to Laura Seward for her hard work 
and dedication to the 2015-2016 Veterans History Project documentary 
film and for her ongoing contributions to the lives of so many students 
in our community.
