  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, the day-to-day operations of our government on a local, 
state and federal level impact the lives of our Veterans either 
directly or indirectly; and
  Whereas, our beloved county continues to rely on the wisdom and 
suggestions from the DeKalb County Veterans Affairs Advisory Board 
members to address concerns and issues of our military community; and
  Whereas, this unique board has given of themselves tirelessly and 
unconditionally to preserve integrity, advocate for our enlisted 
service personnel and veterans; and
  Whereas, the DeKalb County Veterans Affairs Advisory Board continues 
to serve our county 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; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the DeKalb County 
Veterans Affairs Advisory Board for their outstanding service to our 
District;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
May 24, 2010, as DeKalb County Veterans Affairs Advisory Board Day in 
the Fourth Congressional District.

                          ____________________
