                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 2011

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Euginia 
Milionis, an exemplary citizen of Illinois' Third Congressional 
District, for her dedicated service to the students of the Villages of 
Bridgeview and Justice. Ms. Milionis is retiring after forty-nine years 
as a crossing guard, exercising diligence and commitment to ensuring 
the safety of the youngest members of our community.
  Ms. Milionis served the past twenty-one years stationed at the busy 
intersection of 79th Street and Roberts Road. In rain, shine, sleet, 
and snow, Ms. Milionis has always been present with a warm smile and 
welcoming wave. Her commitment to local children has inspired others to 
become involved in their community as well. Ms. Milionis' daughter, 
Dina, has also worked as a crossing guard for several years. In 
commemoration and gratitude for Ms. Milionis' many years of service, 
both Lyons Township and the Village of Bridgeview have awarded her 
plaques of recognition.
  I am happy to recognize Ms. Euginia Milionis' efforts and 
contributions to her community. Her dedication to ensuring a safe 
commute for students truly serves as an inspiration to others. I am 
distinctly proud to count her among the fine citizens of the Third 
District of Illinois, and I wish her a long and happy retirement.
