                 RECOGNIZING THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RICHARD B. NUGENT

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 28, 2014

  Mr. NUGENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National Day 
of Prayer.
  Since 1952, the first Thursday of May in this great Nation has been 
dedicated to prayer. As in years passed, on May 1, 2014, millions of 
people of all faiths across the United States will gather together and 
humbly bow their heads asking God to bless our country. With great 
pride I can say that many of my friends and neighbors across Florida's 
11th Congressional District will be joining me in participating in this 
annual observance of prayer for our Nation.
  This day of prayer is reflective of the faith our Founding Fathers 
had that the United States of America would one day be a great nation. 
These men with deep religious and spiritual convictions built our 
country from the ground up and our continued faith and prayer will keep 
it moving forward.
  Therefore, I, Richard B. Nugent, Member of Congress representing the 
Eleventh District of Florida, do hereby recognize the district's 
observance of the 63rd National Day of Prayer.

                          ____________________
