                         Monday, June 28, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the late Clifford Lee Childers, a family man who had a long and 
distinguished career in Pulaski County Kentucky
  In 1988, Mr. Childers operated the Somerset Financial Center and 
while there obtained his real estate and insurance licenses. Soon 
after, Mr. Childers was able to fulfill his lifetime dream of owning a 
small business when he opened Childers Financial Services. Performing 
residential and commercial appraisals in 14 counties he managed a very 
successful company that serves the Lake Cumberland area.
  Mr. Childers was a man of faith and served as a deacon for the East 
Somerset Baptist Church. Always putting God first he strived to be an 
example to those around him and spread God's Word through his actions. 
Mr. Childers also proudly served his country. Enlisting in the Kentucky 
National Guard in 1970, he served until October 1996 and achieved the 
rank of Colonel.
  Family was always Mr. Childers priority. He was married to Charlene 
Childers for 37 loving years and together they raised 3 children and 
were blessed with 5 grandchildren. Whether he was with his family at 
home in Somerset, Kentucky, or at their `home away from home' in 
Bluffton, South Carolina, Mr. Childers treasured every moment with his 
family.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in memory of Mr. 
Clifford Lee Childers, a man who tirelessly worked to make the world a 
better place. His love for life will be truly be missed.
