  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation:
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this one woman, 
Dr. Marie Pullin, who gave of herself in order for others to stand; and
  Whereas, her legacy of dedicated service to enrich the children and 
others in her community through her volunteerism, creative ability and 
unwavering advocacy for the youth, the elderly, the poor and the arts 
are present in DeKalb County, Georgia for all to see; and
  Whereas, this remarkable, positive woman with a beautiful smile gave 
of herself, her heart and her talent; never asking for fame or fortune 
but only to uplift, expose and inspire those in need; and
  Whereas, she led by example from behind the scenes, as well as front 
and center for the state of Georgia, DeKalb County and the City of 
Atlanta, multiple ministries, homeowner associations, the Atlanta 
Edgewood-Kirkwood Neighborhood Center; and in her beloved church, 
Israel Baptist Church; and
  Whereas, this virtuous Proverbs 31 woman was a mother, a wife, a 
daughter, a friend, a warrior, a matriarch, and a woman of great 
integrity; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow a Congressional recognition on Dr. 
Marie Pullin for her leadership, friendship and 50 years of service to 
all of the citizens in Georgia and throughout the Nation; now 
therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby attest to the 
114th Congress that Dr. Marie Pullin of DeKalb County, Georgia is 
deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional Honor'' Dr. Marie 
Pullin, U.S. Citizen of Distinction in the 4th Congressional District 
of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 14th day of March, 2015.
