  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation:
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this one man, 
Rev. Dr. George W. Moore who has given so much of himself in order for 
others to stand; and
  Whereas, his work is present across our nation for all to see; the 
retired pastor of Saint Philip AME Church in DeKalb County, Georgia, 
who was instrumental in spreading the gospel and enriching the lives of 
many in the Atlanta area and beyond; and
  Whereas, this giant of a man accomplished so much during his time on 
earth; he was a Master Pastor, a business owner, a community advocate 
and a friend to all; and
  Whereas, he gave of himself, his time, his talent and his life to 
uplift those in need never expecting fame or fortune; his calling was 
to be a motivator and to inspire others throughout the community by 
spreading the gospel and leading by example; and
  Whereas, Rev. Dr. George W. Moore led by doing both behind the scenes 
and on the front lines; he was an ambassador of goodwill who will be 
truly missed; and
  Whereas, Rev. Dr. George W. Moore was a husband, a father, a 
grandfather, and a friend; he was our warrior, our patriarch, a man of 
great integrity who remained true to his divine mission until his end; 
and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
recognizes Rev. Dr. George W. Moore as a citizen of great worth and so 
noted distinction; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do 
hereby attest to the 114th Congress that he is deemed worthy and 
deserving of this Congressional Honor by declaring Rev. Dr. George W. 
Moore, U.S. Citizen of Distinction in the 4th Congressional District of 
Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 13th day of February, 2015.
