           HONORING SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR JUSTIN RIVARD

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SEAN P. DUFFY

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 15, 2018

  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a remarkable young man 
from Somerset, Wisconsin named Justin Rivard. Justin is a senior at 
Somerset High School and is finishing up his final semester. But rather 
than just spending that time preparing for his own graduation, Justin 
has gone out of his way to help others. He recently invented a device, 
aptly titled the ``JustinKase,'' that protects students and teachers 
inside their classrooms. The steel device slips underneath a classroom 
door and latches to the door's jam, locking the door in place. This 
prevents anyone with intent to commit violence against students or 
teachers from accessing the room.
  A teacher at Somerset High recently described Justin as having `the 
special combination of motivation and brains and has a motor that just 
keeps going.'' Indeed, these skills will serve Justin well as he 
continues to use his gifts in the service of others as a soldier in the 
United States Army. Everyone in Wisconsin is proud of Justin's 
ingenuity. And we are grateful for his decision to enter the military 
and defend our nation.
