  Mr. HARDY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor Lori Henricksen, an 
instructor at the Veterans Tribute Career and Technical Academy, for 
her dedication and tremendous contributions toward educating Nevada's 
students about career opportunities in emergency telecommunications. As 
a former 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Dispatcher and Law Enforcement 
and Fire Dispatcher, Lori understands what it takes to help individuals 
in times of crisis and how to succeed in this field. I am grateful to 
have educators like Lori who can bring a wealth of knowledge and real 
world experience to teach our students. Lori is truly making a positive 
impact in our students by encouraging tomorrow's future leaders to take 
on these lifesaving roles for the betterment of our communities. I join 
all Nevadans in saying thank you for your mentorship to our students 
and for your passion for building up the next generation of emergency 
dispatchers, our behind-the-scenes heroes. Mr. Speaker, I commend Lori 
on her outstanding service to educating Nevada's students and for the 
years she has devoted to responding to the emergencies of our families. 
I am confident that Lori's hard work will continue to benefit our 
communities for many years to come.
