  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Nick Ackerman for being named a 2015 Forty Under 40 honoree 
by the award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
  Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines Area that are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious honor based on 
a combined criteria of community involvement and success in their 
chosen career field. The 2015 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
  Nick has the determination and drive to be successful in all that he 
does. At the American Prosthetics & Orthotics Inc., Nick works as a 
technician, where he is passionate in providing prosthetic limbs for 
those in need. Nick's commitment to his work is evident in his 
philanthropic activities. As a member of the Amputee Golf Association 
he assists annually in a golf event to raise money for charity. Nick 
also organizes a Wounded Warrior softball game for veterans of our 
military. In all aspects of his life, Nick gives his full effort, it is 
that effort and dedication that makes our state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Nick in 
the United States

for utilizing his talents to better both his community and the great 
state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues in the House to join me in

those at Business Record for their great work, and wishing each member 
of the 2015 Forty Under 40 class a long and successful career.
