  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, Whereas, DeKalb County serves 
as home for many of our Veterans that have served in the United States 
Military; and
  Whereas, forty-nine years ago servicemen who fought in wartime joined 
forces to form the ``VFW Belvedere Post 4706''; and
  Whereas, our beloved country, has and continues to benefit from the 
service of the members of the VFW Post 4706 in the areas of leadership, 
service and scholarship to our community; and
  Whereas, this unique group has given of themselves tirelessly and 
unconditionally to preserve integrity, advocate for our enlisted 
service personnel and veterans; and
  Whereas, the VFW Post 4706 continues to serve our country by being 
involved in the planning, organizing and conducting of ceremonies that 
commemorate and recognize those who served our country in the United 
States military, our children who desire scholarships to gain higher 
education and veterans who have fallen to homelessness; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor, recognize and congratulate the VFW 
Post 4706 on their 49th Anniversary for their outstanding service to 
our District;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
February 21, 2010, as Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States 
Post 4706 Day in the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 21st day of February, 2010.
