  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker,
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this one man, who 
has given of himself in order for others to stand; and
  Whereas, Charles Roland ``Buddy'' Hughes' work is present in DeKalb 
County, Georgia for all to see, being an advocate for the youth, the 
elderly, the poor and ordinary citizens like you and me; and
  Whereas, this giant of a man thought there was never an issue that 
was too tall; he would protest, picket, march and speak out against 
injustice, because he knew that in order to have a better community it 
would take us all; and
  Whereas, this remarkable man gave of himself, his time, his talent 
and his life; he never asked for fame or fortune to uplift those in 
need, he just wanted to do what was right and when he committed to 
doing something his actions would cut like a knife; and
  Whereas, Buddy Hughes was a husband, a father, a son, a brother and a 
friend; he was our warrior, our general, a man of great integrity who 
remained true to the uplifting of our community until his end; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow an honorable mention and recognition 
on Charles Roland ``Buddy'' Hughes for his leadership, friendship and 
service to all of the citizens in Georgia and throughout the world; a 
citizen of great worth and so noted distinction;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby attest to 
the 111th Congress that Charles Roland ``Buddy'' Hughes of DeKalb 
County, Georgia is deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional 
Honorable Mention'': Mr. Charles Roland ``Buddy'' Hughes, U.S. Citizen 
of Distinction, in the Fourth Congressional District.
