                        Wednesday, June 4, 2008

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States 
Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today in recognition of Douglas 
and Estelle Rogers for their exemplary dedication to the city of Laurel 
Hill, Florida.
  For years Douglas and Estelle Rogers have been serving the city of 
Laurel Hill, Florida. With resumes stocked with civil service positions 
and community outreach, the Rogers have helped advance their burgeoning 
city and, subsequently, have become engrained in the city's history.
  Both Mr. and Mrs. Rogers have served on the Laurel Hill City Council. 
In addition to being the city's mayor for a year, Mr. Rogers was also 
the chief of Laurel Hill's Fire Department. He is also an honored 
veteran, having served in WWII from 1944 to 1946. Mr. Roger's 
accomplishments are rivaled only by

those of his wife who established the ``Citizen of the Year'' program 
and authors the ``Up on the Hill'' column which appears in the local 
paper.
  After countless hours of working behind the scenes, the Rogers are 
being recognized for their outstanding commitment to the area. The 
First District of Florida is incredibly fortunate to have received the 
services provided by the Rogers and they will be remembered for their 
philanthropic efforts.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
recognize Doug and Estelle Rogers for their exemplary service to the 
community of Laurel Hill.
