   A SPECIAL THANKS TO MOVIE GALLERY FOR THEIR ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF 
                            AMERICA'S TROOPS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TERRY EVERETT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 10, 2002

  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to a 
company headquartered in my Congressional District which has answered 
the call to assist America's war on terrorism in an exemplary manner.
  The Movie Gallery, based in Dothan, Alabama, was recently asked by 
the Civil Air Patrol to participate in Films for Troops. This endeavor 
is designed to bring a piece of home to our men and women in uniform 
stationed on the front lines thousands of miles from our shores.
  When approached to help, The Movie Gallery rose to the challenge by 
collecting over 800 videos and DVDs of current top movies from 
America's major motion picture studios. These movies, in turn, will be 
packed and shipped to our troops in Afghanistan.
  I am proud to endorse the Movie Gallery's efforts to bring the sights 
and voices of home to our sons and daughters and mothers and fathers on 
the battle lines of freedom.
  We are one nation in this fight to preserve our liberty. The Movie 
Gallery deserves our gratitude for bringing all of us--near and far--a 
little closer together during these difficult days.

                          ____________________
