“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Matthew C.G. Boucher of Ramsey, Minnesota. Matthew recently received a Veterans' Voices Award meant to highlight the incredible contributions of Minnesota's veterans. Matthew is a veteran of the Army National Guard and spent 12 years courageously serving our Nation. Today he continues his service to our country and to the State of Minnesota through his work as a middle school principal. Matthew's love for the military and his fellow veterans is a large part of what inspires him in his current position. At Fridley Middle School, he started a Veterans Day program to teach students to recognize the many sacrifices that the members of our military make. He also works to promote the belief within every one of his students that anything they set their minds to is possible. He is especially dedicated to helping his students pursue their education beyond high school. Thank you, Matthew, for your brave service and for continuing to better our Nation. Our Nation and our State is a better place because of you. A Voice for Veterans”
