                     RECOGNIZING THE UTAH PIPE BAND

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Utah Pipe Band 
and the Barclay School of Highland Dance--two groups that embody the 
spirit of tradition, excellence, and service.
  For over a century, the Utah Pipe Band has honored our heroes, 
playing at Memorial Day events across our great state, competing in 
Highland Games, and standing as a living tribute to history. Last year, 
they marched on the sands of Utah Beach for the 80th anniversary of D-
Day. Before that, they played in Honolulu for the 80th anniversary of 
Pearl Harbor. Their music isn't just performance, it's a bridge to the 
past, a reminder of sacrifice, and a call to honor.
  Their motto, Act well thy part, is more than words--it's a way of 
life. And it speaks to what makes Utah special: faith, family, service, 
and a deep respect for the past.
  I thank them not just for their music, but for what they represent. 
Our state, our country, and our history are better because of them.
