                         Tuesday, May 17, 2016

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
retirement of Donald Ray Hill of Taylor, Texas. A pillar of this 
bustling community nestled in the heart of my congressional district, 
Don's extraordinary commitment to service to his beloved home town 
reflects the best values of Central Texas.
  Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have made a 
difference in the world. Don Hill doesn't have that problem. From his 
service in the Marine Corps to his role as Mayor of the City of Taylor 
to serving as Steward at Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church for over 37 years 
to countless other endeavors, Don has led a life of devotion to his 
community.
  Don was of service to all citizens. He worked tirelessly to feed the 
hungry, take care of the aged, and educate the young. The efforts of 
involved citizens like Don bring a community together and make 
residents proud to call Taylor home.
  Retirement is to be celebrated and enjoyed. It is not the end of a 
career, but rather the beginning of a new adventure. I heartily salute 
Don Hill's work and contributions to his community. I wish him all the 
best as he begins his richly deserved retirement.
