            RECOGNIZING JUDE STAMPER, A REMARKABLE YOUNG MAN

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a remarkable young man 
from the Fifth District of Michigan, Jude Stamper.
  While completing his Eagle Scout leadership project, Jude sought to 
raise funds to help purchase a new van for a local shelter. He 
organized, emceed, and played in a fundraiser with the Monroe High jazz 
band that far surpassed his initial goal.
  Jude has a rare condition called AMC which makes movement difficult, 
but Jude doesn't slow down. In 2018, then-Michigan basketball coach 
John Beilein recognized Jude's infectious attitude, valuable 
perspective, and unparalleled energy. Beilein had him join the team, 
and stars like Moe Wagner and Duncan Robinson credited Jude's spirit 
for helping propel the team to the national championship game.
  Mr. Speaker, we are grateful for Jude's contributions, and we look 
forward to what he takes on next.
