HONORING BRADLEY DAVID SCHENCK
(Mrs. Fischbach of Minnesota was recognized to address the House for
5 minutes.)
Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize and honor the
life and legacy of Bradley Schenck, a devoted husband, father, marine,
master sergeant in the Air National Guard, and law enforcement officer.
Brad served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps and the Air National
Guard and dedicated 16 years to law enforcement, including a decade on
the Red River Valley SWAT Team. His colleagues knew him for his
courage, integrity, and commitment to keeping his community safe.
Nine years ago, Brad faced brain cancer with extraordinary
resilience. He turned his struggle into inspiration, sharing his
journey in his memoir ``No Easy Way Out.''
Above all, Brad was a family man. He leaves behind his wife, Sara;
their three children, Colby, Bentley, and Mackenzie; his parents and
siblings; and his entire military and law enforcement families who
carry on his legacy of strength and hope.
Brad's life was defined by service, resilience, and joy. I honor his
memory today and extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends,
and community.
Honoring Ed De La Hunt
Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Ed De
La Hunt, a pioneering broadcaster whose voice and vision shaped
northern Minnesota for nearly seven decades.
Ed and his wife, Carol, founded KPRM Radio in Park Rapids in 1962.
His familiar voice on the program ``Coffee Time'' and his Sunday night
music shows became part of daily life for countless listeners.
Beyond the microphone, Ed was an engineer, mentor, and builder. He
trained and inspired generations of broadcasters. His dedication to
local radio, his commitment to technical excellence, and his belief in
the power of community storytelling left an incredible mark on
Minnesota broadcasting. Ed leaves behind a legacy of service through
the airways and through his family.
Today, I honor his career and the joy he brought to listeners across
Minnesota.
Congratulating Hawley Nuggets Girls' Volleyball
Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Hawley girls'
volleyball team on being the 2025 AA State champions.
The Nuggets came back from a two-set deficit to win 3-2. This year's
win sealed back-to-back championships for this team.
On behalf of the Seventh District of Minnesota, I congratulate them
and am very proud of this team.
Recognizing Marshall Girls' Volleyball
Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the
Marshall girls' volleyball team on being the 2025 AAA State champions.
This is Marshall's 10th championship, the most in State history, and
the first program in Minnesota to win double-digit championships.
I congratulate the players and coaches on this huge accomplishment.
