                       Thursday, January 6, 2005

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, country music mega-star Darryl Worley 
``Has Not Forgotten'' his community or his country in his rise to the 
top of his profession.
  By practicing what he preaches in his Gold Record #1 hit Have You 
Forgotten, he has spent many days each year traveling to the Middle 
East and entertaining and encouraging our troops.
  He has also never forgotten his friends and neighbors. He sponsors 
and performs at the ``Darryl Worley River Run'' each year in his home 
county, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for local 
charities, this year expanding to benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital 
in Memphis.
  And he has not forgotten his family. This year he presented the 
Hardin Medical Center with a check for $40,000 in memory of his 
grandfather who suffered from cancer. In his honor the recently 
renovated hospital named a new wing the ``Darryl Worley Outpatient 
Chemotherapy Clinic.''
  Darryl Worley is a great American, and a true hometown hero to 
Savannah, Tennessee, and today we honor his commitment to our great 
nation.
