  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, on April 7th Julia Buck, a junior in 
high school, was in a terrible car accident with three of her friends 
while driving home after getting ice cream. Julia was sitting directly 
in front of where the car was impacted, and she had to be airlifted to 
Cooper University Hospital where she underwent a total of 51 hours of 
surgery. Julia sustained the worst injuries out of her friends, but she 
still wanted to make sure she was there to comfort them and held their 
hands the whole time. This past Monday, Julia was released into rehab, 
and her strength and perseverance led to her being able to stand up for 
the first time in 36 days. Prior to her accident, Julia played soccer 
and basketball and was just accepted into the National Honors Society. 
Julia is a living miracle who not only has the support of her family 
and friends, but also the South Jersey community. I am praying for 
Julia and her family that she makes a full recovery, and I know she 
will go on to achieve great things. God Bless Julia and her family and 
God Bless America.
