                       Tuesday, February 10, 2009

  Mr. SESTAK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
contributions of the following individuals, and the organizations they 
lead, for their consistent and essential support to my constituents in 
the 7th Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
  I thank Darrell Jones, of West Chester; Sheila A. Carter of Darby; 
Reverend Albert G. Davis of the Mainline; Dr. Joan Duval-Flynn of 
Media; M. Lana Shells of Norristown; Jerome Whyatt Mondesire of 
Philadelphia; Alice H. Hammond of West Chester; and, Linda Osinupedia 
of Yeadon for their tireless efforts.
  These 21st Century American patriots carry on the traditions of the 
NAACP whose mission ``to ensure the political, educational, social, and 
economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial 
hatred and racial discrimination,'' remains as vital today as it was 
when founded a century ago.
