                      Thursday, September 22, 2005

  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to recognize this morning's 
guest chaplain, Reverend Anthony Marciano. Reverend Marciano

[[Page E1935]]

is the Executive Director of the Charlotte Rescue Mission in Charlotte, 
North Carolina. The Rescue Mission ministers to people in the 
Charlotte-Mecklenburg area who struggle with poverty, homelessness, and 
drug addiction. The Mission's five fold strategy aims to meet the 
spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational needs of these 
folks, in a way that demonstrates God's love. Under Reverend Marciano's 
direction, the Mission has seen truly inspiring success rates among its 
clients, and I'm proud to represent people like Tony in Congress.
  Rev. Marciano is a graduate of The Salvation Army's seminary. Before 
moving to Charlotte, he founded a shelter in New Jersey to address 
homelessness and addiction. Tony and his wife Dorothy have three kids, 
and they live in Charlotte, North Carolina with their dog, Rocky.
  Founded in 1938, the Charlotte Rescue Mission continues to make a 
positive impact on our city. I applaud Rev. Marciano for his dedication 
and Christian witness--and I'm honored to welcome him to the House 
Floor this morning.
