began the Myers family lineage which has blessed us with descendants 
that have helped to shape our nation; and
  Whereas, the Myers Family has produced many well respected citizens 
and the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Myers family are pillars of 
strength that have touched many throughout our nation, family members 
of the past and present; and
  Whereas, in our beloved Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, we 
are honored to have members of the Myers 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 Myers 
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 Myers family;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim 
September 1, 2012 as Myers Family Reunion Day in the 4th Congressional 
District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 1st day of September, 2012.
