  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I present the following U.S. 
Citizen of Distinction.
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this one woman 
who has given of herself to her family, church, community, and Nation; 
and
  Whereas, Mrs. Robbie Davis Gunn's good works are present in 
Nashville, Tennessee as an exemplary mother, mother-in-law, 
grandmother, aunt, neighbor, community worker and friend; and
  Whereas, this giant of a woman, who was raised up in the Providence 
Community, was born on August 20, 1928, to Rev. Robert Mitchell Davis 
and Mrs. Ada Edmondson Davis; and
  Whereas, Robbie Davis Gunn was a virtuous woman, a woman of great 
integrity who remained true to the uplifting of her community and 
family which in turn uplifted others; and
  Whereas, she was an exemplary mother and mother-in-law, serving as 
compass and wise counselor and bringing great joy to her own children 
and their spouses and friends; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Robbie Davis Gunn loved her family, encouraging all of 
those around her to make a difference, be it her children, her elected 
officials, her neighbors and her church members at Lake Providence 
Missionary Baptist Church where she was a faithful member for 72 years; 
and
  Whereas, this remarkable woman gave of herself, never asking for fame 
or fortune as she became a quiet storm, a spark that starts a flame; 
and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow a Congressional Recognition on Mrs. 
Robbie Davis Gunn for her leadership, friendship and service to all of 
the citizens of Nashville and the Nation;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby attest to 
the 112th Congress that Mrs. Robbie Davis Gunn of Nashville, Tennessee 
is deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional Recognition''--
Mrs. Robbie Davis Gunn, U.S. Citizen of Distinction.
  Proclaimed, this 25th day of March, 2012.
