                   RECOGNIZING ELLIANA KAYE WOODWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 12, 2007

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to celebrate the birth of 
Elliana Kaye Woodward. Elliana was born on Monday, November 12, 2007, 
Veterans Day, to her proud parents, Ryan and Kristin Woodward of 
Stafford. Virginia. I find it very appropriate that Elliana was born on 
Veterans Day since her father is a patriot in the United States Marine 
Corps. Elliana entered the world at 2:21 p.m. at Mary Washington 
Hospital, Fredericksburg, Virginia, weighing a healthy 7 lbs. 11 oz. 
and 19\1/2\ inches long.
  Elliana also has proud grandparents, Darrell and Susan Hall, of 
Sidney, Nebraska, and Cheryl and Duane Farmer of Sidney, Nebraska, as 
well as Bruce Woodward of Maryville, Missouri, to spoil her. Elliana is 
also the niece of Travis and Sarah Woodward of Bowie, Maryland; Nathan 
Woodward of Maryville, Missouri; Sarah Hall, Zach Hall and Zane Hall of 
Sidney, Nebraska.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in celebrating the birth 
of Elliana Kaye Woodward. I see great things in Elliana's future 
considering her parents' great emphasis on family values, faith and 
patriotism. I wish Elliana the best life has to offer.
