and the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Dogan Family are pillars of 
strength that have touched many throughout our nation; and

are honored to have members of the Dogan family for they are some of 
our most beloved citizens in our District; and
  Whereas, family is one of the most honored and cherished institutions 
in the world, we take pride in knowing that families such as the Dogan 
family have set aside this time to fellowship with each other, honor 
one another and to pass along history to each other by meeting at this 
year's family reunion 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 the Dogan family;
