  Whereas, the Grandparents of our Nation give of themselves to better 
the families and communities of our District; and
  Whereas, Grandparents teach our children, raise our leaders and 
Grandparents demonstrate a spirit of giving, service and leadership to 
our District; and
  Whereas, our District, families and communities have benefited from 
our Grandparents working to build a strong foundation in the lives of 
our community; and
  Whereas, our Grandparents have worked tirelessly to give their best 
to support our community mentally, spiritually and physically; to be a 
resource for our future and by being the bridge to our past; and
  Whereas the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia has 
set aside this day to honor and recognize the Grandparents at Peace 
Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia, for their service, love and 
leadership;
  Now Therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
Sunday, September 12th as Grandparents Day in the 4th Congressional
