Recognizing Colton Griffin

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FEENSTRA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Colton Griffin, a third grader from Moville, Iowa. After his classmate and friend, Hope, passed away in a tragic accident, Colton wanted to make sure her bucket calf still made it to the fair.

That is when he came up with this great idea to have his whole class help show her calf, Taffy. I had the pleasure of meeting Colton, and his dad, Cody, at the Iowa State Fair last week, and they truly embody ``Iowa Nice.''

Supporting our friends and neighbors in tough times is one of the things that makes Iowa so special. With a heart that big, I know Colton is going to do great things.

Madam Speaker, may God bless Colton and his friend, Hope, and her family. May God bless.
