[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 10] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages 14126-14127] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING DERRICK GREGG ______ HON. JOHN SHIMKUS of illinois in the house of representatives Thursday, June 26, 2008 Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 15-year-old Derrick Gregg from Highland, Illinois. For his Eagle Scout badge project, Derrick chose to raise funds for building a helipad in Highland. The $88,000 helipad that Derrick has raised the money to build is fully heated. Additionally, it also has radio controlled lighting. As the nearest trauma center to Highland is about 40 miles away, this landing pad will be used when critical patients need to be transported by helicopter. I congratulate Derrick for his efforts which will serve his community well. I wish him the best as he finishes this project and completes his Eagle Scout requirements.
