                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Becky Peterson for receiving the Hero of Hope Award from 
the Iowa American Cancer Society at this year's annual Winter 
Leadership Conference in Panora, Iowa.
  The Hero of Hope Award is presented annually to an outstanding 
volunteer who exemplifies inspirational communication skills, a passion 
for Relay For Life and a commitment to the mission of the American 
Cancer Society. Becky exemplified that commitment when she went the 
extra mile with her efforts as event lead for the Guthrie County Relay 
For Life. Becky has also had her own personal battle with cancer and 
has now been cancer free for six years.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to represent community leaders like Becky in 
the United States Congress, and it is with great pride that I recognize 
her today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Becky for this outstanding 
achievement and in wishing her nothing but the best.
