  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friends Bob 
and Carole Donald for their commitment to serving the community.
  Bob and Carole are two individuals who truly exemplify community 
service and civic involvement. Since moving to Las Vegas, Bob and 
Carole have donated their time and energy to a variety of causes in our 
community. Whether it is helping a neighbor or volunteering in the 
community, Bob and Carole are always willing to lend a hand. Their 
commitment and service to others have had a positive impact on our 
community.
  Bob has dedicated both his professional life and his personal life to 
serving others. He served his country in the U.S. Army before becoming 
a police officer with the Newark Police Department in New Jersey. 
During his 25 years with the Newark Police Department, Bob served on 
the foot patrol, the motorcycle unit, as a detective, the head of 
Narcotics, and as the head of the Tactical Force. As an officer, Bob 
always placed the safety of others before his own and protected the 
citizens of Newark with both honor and pride. The Newark Police 
Department honored Bob on a number of occasions for the leadership, 
commitment, and sacrifice he demonstrated as a police officer.
  Bob retired as a Lieutenant from the Newark Police Department and 
later moved to Las Vegas. Throughout his years in Las Vegas,

Bob has been incredibly active in the community. When he is not 
volunteering, he spends his time either hunting or skeet shooting. He 
is co-founder of the Nellis Skeet Club and has won the Senior Skeet 
Shooting Championship of Nevada many times in the past several years.
  Carole was a professional Flamenco dancer and traveled the world 
performing with legendary Flamenco dancer, Jose Greco. After retiring 
from dancing, she opened a hair salon in New Jersey and later opened 
another salon in Las Vegas. Carole has used her talents to help others. 
She has volunteered for a number of years at local hospitals, providing 
haircuts to patients who are too sick to leave the hospital. She is a 
very warm-hearted person who is not only willing to donate her time and 
her talents to help others, but actively seeks opportunities to do so.
  Bob and Carole have been happily married for over 20 years. Bob has 
three children Bobby, Stephen, and Diane.
  Bob and Carole Donald are outstanding examples of what it means to be 
community-minded. They are genuine, giving, and kind. They constantly 
look for ways to contribute to the world around them. Their optimism 
and enthusiasm for life has made a difference for all who have the 
privilege of knowing them.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Bob and Carole Donald for their 
tremendous commitment to the Las Vegas community and to the United 
States. I wish the Donald's the very best as they continue to set an 
example of service and civic involvement.
