      HONORING THE GENEROSITY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE OF JERRY LONG

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to praise the generosity and 
community work of my friend, Jerry Long. Today, Jerry is being honored 
for his generous philanthropy back in North Carolina as the West 
Forsyth Family YMCA officially changes its name to the Jerry Long 
Family YMCA.
  This honor comes to Jerry thanks to his tireless work as a community 
leader. He is someone who understands that making a positive difference 
in your community and helping your neighbors can start with the hard 
work and dedication of just one person.
  His example of serving his community is inspiring, and this renaming 
is a much deserved honor. Congratulations to Jerry and his family, and 
thank you for your many years of giving back to Forsyth County and the 
communities there.
