  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Union of Nigerian 
Friends for its 30 years of service to Forest Hill and the North Texas 
community.
  In 1987, the Union of Nigerian Friends was founded in order to 
provide a safe environment for dialogue on issues that affect the 
political, economic, and social progress for Nigerians here in my home 
state of Texas. Since its establishment 30 years ago, the Union of 
Nigerian Friends continues to promote cultural awareness and unity 
among all Nigerians and Americans, while serving as a shining example 
of civic engagement for our community.
  The Union of Nigerian Friends takes great pride in its active civic 
participation through its numerous community partnerships in the areas 
of business, family recreation and education. For their longstanding 
excellence in community engagement Mayor Lyndia Thomas of the city of 
Forest Hill, Texas recognized the Union of Nigerian Friends for their 
success.
  I honor the Union of Nigerian Friends 30th anniversary celebration.
