                   TRIBUTE TO PATRICK ARMSTRONG, JR.

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Patrick Armstrong, Jr., of Heart Butte, for his dedication 
to Glacier County.
  A member of the Blackfeet Nation, Mr. Armstrong was born and raised 
in Browning, MT, where he attended Browning Public School Systems, K-
12. He has been an educator at Browning Elementary for 5 years, where 
he currently teaches fourth grade. Patrick and his wife, Anna, have 
three children.
  Mr. Armstrong has always been actively involved in sports and has 
been officiating for 20 years. Since then, Patrick has been heavily 
involved in officiating high school basketball. He was recently 
nominated as this year's boys basketball official of the year by the 
National Federation of High School Association, Montana High School 
Association, and the Montana Officials Association. To be nominated for 
this award, you must exemplify upstanding character. Mr Armstrong is a 
prominent mentor in his community. He is a humble man who knows the 
value of a strong community.
  I congratulate Patrick on his role in bringing together and growing 
the Browning community.
