                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Patrick Lee for his contribution to the 2015-2016 Veterans History 
Project documentary film produced by the students and faculty of 
Westminster High School in Westminster, Colorado.
  The film, MEDIC!, highlights the stories of five brave veterans who 
served their country and their fellow veterans as combat medics. The 
Veterans History Project is a congressionally chartered project that 
works to collect, preserve and make accessible personal accounts of 
American war veterans. The stories of these veterans will forever be 
preserved in the Library of Congress American Folklife Center. Patrick 
contributed to the project with a very moving original musical score--
an invaluable addition to the project.
  Patrick began playing piano in 1988 at the age of 7 and has played 
for the last 25 years, including professionally for the last 15 years. 
He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Piano in 2006 from CU Boulder. 
Patrick has played notable Colorado venues like Red Rocks, the Fox & 
Boulder Theatres, and the Fillmore and has played with bands including 
De La Soul, Victor Wooten, Thundercat, and Soulive. Patrick has also 
worked as a producer creating jingles for ESPN, Crocs, Showtime, and 
Details Magazine.

  I extend my deepest appreciation to Patrick Lee for his important 
contribution to the 2015-2016 Veterans History Project documentary 
film.
