friend, a fearless leader and a servant to ensure that all students

has enhanced the lives of thousands for the betterment of my District 
and our Nation; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Ms. Winifred L. Pierce on 
her retirement and to wish her well in her new endeavors; now 
therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim May 23,
