           HONORING THE REVEREND FRED McNACK ON FATHER'S DAY

                                 ______

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 12, 2008

  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, this Father's Day, I would like 
to honor a man who exemplifies what it means to be an excellent 
father--a man who is a community leader, an upstanding and moral man, 
and a positive role model for our youth. The Reverend Fred McNack, who 
lives in my congressional district, has done great things, and I am 
proud to express my congratulations to him for all he has done for our 
community.
  Reverend McNack has served as the pastor of Houston's Unity in God 
Missionary Baptist Church for the last 38 years. He also served his 
community well as the Associate Pastor of Christian Faith Missionary 
Baptist Church for 10 years. Not only has Reverend McNack shown 
admirable dedication to his faith, he also served our country in the 
United States Navy from 1941 to 1945 during World War II. It is safe to 
say that Reverend McNack has lived the kind of life that would serve as 
a good example to our young people of how to serve one's community and 
country.
  Reverend McNack has long been a valued member of community, and 
rightly so. On this occasion of Father's Day, I would like to recognize 
Reverend McNack for all of his accomplishments and urge people across 
America to look to leaders such as Reverend McNack as role models for 
their work in inspiring and engaging our youth to live productive, 
positive lives.
