“Senator Orrin Hatch of my State has penned words to a song entitled, ``Everyday Heroes.'' The lyrics in part read: ``Some people have helping hands that go a second mile. ``They're willing to love and lift a brother for a while. ``Everyday Heroes live in every neighborhood. ``Everyday Heroes, helping in the way a neighbor should. ``Giving just a little time; sharing just a little love. ``God bless each one of those everyday heroes.'' Mr. Speaker, I wish to introduce this body to an everyday hero whose efforts make the world a better place to live. If you think about that in that respect, it is actually quite spectacular. This hero is an outstanding educator at Box Elder High School in Brigham City, Utah; and I had the opportunity of teaching alongside him before I came to Congress. I know from personal experience the dedication he brings to his job, and I know how he helps kids every day. At Box Elder High School is a charismatic head wrestling coach by the name of Mike Ripplinger. He was recently named the Class 4A Coach of the Year, shortly after leading his team to the fourth State title in 6 years, his fifth overall. That goes along with a record 18 region championships in the 20 years he has been a head coach. In a sport like wrestling, which is very competitive in Utah, that is indeed quite an accomplishment.…”
