celebration appropriately named Lakewood on Parade. Families from all 
parts of the city and surrounding areas come together with their 
friends and neighbors to enjoy this celebration. I, myself, along with 
my family, have attended Lakewood on Parade for many years. I am 
honored to recognize the Lakewood on Parade birthday celebration for 
helping Lakewood bring families together to enjoy this beautiful city.
  Lakewood is the fourth largest city in Colorado and is located just 
west of Denver, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It is home to 
many historical sites of the old West making it a city rich in history. 
Families, friends, and neighbors truly live in a special place in 
Colorado and it is reflected in the Lakewood on Parade birthday 
celebration.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to the city of Lakewood for 
achieving their fortieth birthday.
