  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
proclamation.
  Whereas, Arthur and Dorothy Rogers are celebrating fifty years (50) 
in marriage today in DeKalb County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, on August 27, 1961 because of their union then, our 
community today has been blessed with a family that has enhanced our 
district, Mr. Arthur Lewis Rogers and Mrs. Dorothy Elizabeth Rogers; 
and
  Whereas, this remarkable and tenacious man of God and this phenomenal 
and virtuous Proverbs 31 woman are beacons of light to those in need, 
they both have been blessed with their family, their church and the 
DeKalb County community; and
  Whereas, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers are distinguished citizens of our 
district, they are spiritual warriors, persons of compassion, fearless 
leaders and servants to all, but most of all visionaries who have 
shared not only with their family, but with our District their passion 
to improve the lives of others; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mr. Arthur and Mrs. 
Dorothy Rogers as they celebrate their 50th Anniversary, fifty (50) 
years in marital bliss;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim 
August 27, 2011 as Mr. Arthur and Mrs. Dorothy Rogers Day in the 4th 
Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 27th day of August, 2011.
