                        Wednesday, June 18, 2008

  Mr. GRAVES.Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the lifetime 
achievements of Raymond R. Brock, Jr., of Gladstone, Missouri. Ray has 
been awarded the Alexander Doniphan Community Service Award on the 
200th birth anniversary of Alexander W. Doniphan. Ray's prestigious 
recognition exemplifies Alexander Doniphan's greatest qualities through 
education, jurisprudence, statesmanship, patriotism and as a successful 
businessman.
  Ray Brock has dedicated his entire life to giving back to the 
community. From being a member of the Board of College Hill, Inc., to a 
pioneer in the development of the Northland area, Ray has shown 
committed excellence over the years. He served in the U.S. Navy from 
1952 to 1954, and has worked with the Salvation Army, Northland 
Community Foundation, the Liberty Hospital Board of Directors, Clay 
County Parks & Recreation Board, and countless other organizations. All 
of these qualities embody the unique character required for the 
Alexander Doniphan Community Service Award.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join me in applauding Raymond R. Brock, 
Jr., for his selfless acts of generosity through volunteerism. His life 
should serve as an example to all of us to help each other and our 
community.
