          HOMETOWN HERO: GRAPEVINE HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM

  (Ms. VAN DUYNE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize our Texas-24 
hometown hero, the Grapevine High School wrestling team.
  This week, on the 22nd anniversary of the horrific September 11 
terrorist attacks, Grapevine High School wrestling team paid their 
respects by hosting a tribute climb.
  On the steps of Mustang-Panther Stadium, participants climbed a 
symbolic 110 flights in remembrance of this tragic day. Student 
athletes, first responders, and members of the community all climbed 
side by side to mourn those lost and remember the sacrifices our first 
responders made for the American people.
  I am so encouraged by the leadership displayed by the members of the 
Grapevine High School wrestling team and their work to unite the 
community in commemoration of the heroes of September 11. Their 
patriotism and love for country is apparent.
  I thank the Grapevine wrestling team for hosting this event and 
representing north Texas so well.
