  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation:

       Whereas, One hundred years ago a virtuous woman of God was 
     born in Houston County, Georgia on April 15, 1911; and
       Whereas, Mrs. Nora Lee Adams moved to Dooly County, 
     Georgia, where she married Mr. Henry Adams and through their 
     union was blessed with 12 children, 27 grandchildren, 29 
     great-grandchildren and 31 great-great grandchildren; and
       Whereas, this phenomenal Proverbs 31 woman has shared her 
     time and talents as a wife, mother and motivator, giving the 
     citizens of Georgia a person of great worth, a fearless 
     leader and a servant to all who want to advance the lives of 
     others; and
       Whereas, Mrs. Adams has been blessed with a long, happy 
     life, devoted to God and credits it all to the Will of God; 
     and
       Whereas, Mrs. Adams, along with her family and friends, is 
     celebrating this day a remarkable milestone, her 100th 
     birthday, we pause to acknowledge a woman who is a 
     cornerstone in our community in DeKalb County, Georgia; and
       Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of 
     Georgia has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mrs. 
     Adams on her birthday and to wish her well and recognize her 
     for an exemplary life which is an inspiration to all;
       Now Therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby 
     proclaim April 15th, 2011 as Mrs. Nora Lee Adams Day in the 
     4th Congressional District.
