HONORING THE LAKE HIGHLANDS EXCHANGE CLUB AND LAKE HIGHLANDS MILITARY
MOMS
(Mr. HENSARLING asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the Lake Highlands
Exchange Club and Rhonda Russell, founder of the Lake Highlands
Military Moms. Rhonda formed Military Moms so that mothers could meet
once a month to exchange stories, updates, and photographs of their
children serving our Nation in uniform overseas.
Recently, these two groups joined together to ensure that our
servicemen and women received the local recognition they deserved for
their heroic efforts. For example, they created posters for display
throughout the Lake Highlands Community featuring photographs of 54 men
and women serving our Nation in uniform. Additionally, they ensure that
every returning servicemember is publicly honored at the Exchange Club
meetings.
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth District of Texas, I'm honored to
be able to recognize the Lake Highlands Exchange Club and Lake
Highlands Military Moms for their continued efforts in honoring our
heroes in uniform.
