                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                        Wednesday, July 15, 2009

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dr. Kap 
Joon No. Dr. No, a first generation Korean, is a medical doctor at 
Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago and is a well-known and well-
respected member of the Korean-American community.
  Dr. No served as the past president of the Arirang Lions Club, to 
which he is still an active member. The Arirang Lions Club has held an 
annual picnic for Korean adoptees and their families for over 30 years 
and have within recent years started organizing trips for adoptees to 
visit Korea through a partnership with their sister club in Seoul.
  Dr. No has been also been instrumental in coordinating a free health 
clinic annually,

where over 400 community members are able to receive medical diagnosis 
and treatment that they would not otherwise receive. Additionally, 
through his own private medical practice Dr. No personally assists 
those in need. Not only is Dr. No committed to serving the community, 
his wife and his two daughters, both of whom are in medical school, are 
just as dedicated to helping those in need.
  We may never be able to thank Dr. No and his family enough for the 
time and finances they have selflessly dedicated to others in need and 
we are not the first to recognize his humanitarianism and concern for 
others. Last year, The Chicago Sun-Times named Dr. No one of the ``50 
People Who Make Chicago a Better Place'' due to his outstanding 
service. To further add to his distinctions, I would like to formally 
recognize Dr. No and his family's dedication to those in need and his 
service as a hero of the local community.
