  Over the past year they have faced challenges most of us cannot even 
imagine. They have shown incredible resolve in the face of adversity. 
They have shown us all how to seek positivity and hope in each day as 
we weather the storms that come our way.
  I couldn't be more thankful to represent the incredible people across 
South Dakota and all over the nation who work hard each day, not for 
fame, not for recognition or for money, but for the betterment of their 
communities. This is what makes America strong. I am grateful for the 
opportunity to recognize these hardworking individuals.
