                   RECOGNIZING THE CITIZENS OF DeWITT

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I recognize the spirit of 
hard work, volunteerism, and service that is on display each and every 
day in the city of DeWitt, in my home State of Arkansas. The DeWitt 
Chamber of Commerce recently honored six exemplary citizens who have 
contributed their time and expertise to help make their community a 
better place. They are: Ronda Bowen, Employee of the Year; Tommy Black 
of Tommy's Rexall, Employer of the Year; Sue Chapman, Civil Servant of 
the Year; Phyllis Fullerton, Educator of the Year; Bobby Hudspeth, Good 
Neighbor of the Year; and Gary Vansandt, Citizen of the Year.
  I have felt a long kinship to DeWitt, one of our Delta communities 
not far from and very similar to my hometown of Helena. DeWitt always 
feels like home, and I am grateful for the friendships I have made 
there.
  Mr. President, we should all embrace the spirit of service and 
volunteerism on display by these deserving individuals.
