                          TRIBUTE TO BO LADNER

 Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, on behalf of the people of 
Mississippi, I commend Bo Ladner, who has devoted his career to 
developing homes for Mississippians.
  Bo has spent his entire life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He has 
not only made the region his home, but he has provided the same feeling 
to countless Mississippians.
  As the owner of Paramount Contracting, Bo has sought to make 
homebuilding accessible to a wide range of customers. His company 
blends innovative design techniques with traditional, high-quality 
craftsmanship. It is clear that Bo's customers appreciate his work. In 
2014, Paramount Contracting won the Best of Mississippi Home Builder 
award.
  Bo has given back to his community when it needed him the most. When 
Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast, Bo used his skills to 
provide relief. He helped homeowners with storm prevention, becoming a 
leader in building homes with extra reinforcement in areas susceptible 
to high winds and rain.
  Of course, homes are more than concrete and wood. Bo has created a 
space for families to thrive and communities to come together. I join 
my fellow Mississippians in thanking Mr. Bo Ladner for providing 
homes--and the feeling of home--to so many in our State.
