                          HONORING I LOVE LIFE

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. KRISTI L. NOEM

                            of south dakota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 16, 2017

  Mrs. NOEM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a radio program 
that has shared stories of hope, faith and encouragement for more than 
35 years. In a world so often filled with heartbreaking narratives, the 
I Love Life program and its host, Jerry Dahmen, has showcased the 
stories of more than 1,500 people who have overcome challenges, 
achieved the unexpected, and inspired those around them.
  I Love Life is broadcast out of KXRB in South Dakota, but can be 
heard across the country. Its inspirational programming has earned 
dozens of broadcasting and community awards while tackling some of the 
time's toughest issues, including teenage suicide, human trafficking, 
love and loss.
  The program may make you laugh or cry, but either way, it's likely to 
teach you that if you can't change your circumstances, maybe you can 
change your attitude in a way that focuses on gratitude. Because of 
this program, millions of listeners across the world have been inspired 
to join in the chorus saying that I too love life.
