                      Thursday, December 21, 2017

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Sam Pack of 
Carrolton, Texas for his tremendous and continuous work to better his 
community throughout his life.
  Sam Pack's presence in North Texas is hard to miss. His commitment to 
community service and public involvement has touched the lives of many 
in the 24th District and across the State of Texas. Mr. Pack's personal 
involvement in the community is apparent in the numerous awards he has 
received including being named the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce's 
``Citizen of the Year'' as well as being recognized as a Paul Harris 
Fellow by Rotary International.
  Mr. Pack's charitable donations and work are known well throughout 
North Texas, ranging from donations to diabetes research facilities to 
establishing a museum in his community. Mr. Pack is a dedicated 
supporter of Metrocrest Services and Kidd's Kids, to name a few of the 
many philanthropic organizations he supports throughout North Texas. 
Metrocrest Services provides critical services to those coping with 
crisis situations, those who need help stabilizing their lives, or 
require other forms of support. Kidd's Kids provides tremendous support 
to children and their families who are dealing with life altering 
conditions. Mr. Pack has also created the Sam Pack Cares program, which 
works to provide assistance to those who serve our nation in various 
ways.
  For nearly forty years, the Sam Pack Auto Group has worked hand-in-
hand with communities, businesses, and individuals across North Texas 
to provide outstanding service and support to customers. Mr. Pack's 
commitment to excellence and dedication to customer service has 
resulted in the Sam Pack Auto Group receiving countless awards and 
recognitions for their efforts. Most notably among these recognitions 
is TIME Magazine's ``Quality Dealer of the Year'', Ford Motor Company's 
``Salute to Dealers Award'', and the Texas Automobile Dealers 
Association's ``Legends Award'' which, to date, has been awarded to 
less than twenty outstanding auto dealers within the State of Texas. 
Since Mr. Pack first opened a dealership in 1980, he has provided vital 
support to those in need, and in the 36 years since that first 
dealership opened, Mr. Pack has continuously proven that he is an 
ardent supporter of his community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my fellow colleagues join me in thanking Mr. 
Sam Pack for his many years of dedicated service and charitable works. 
I wish him continued success and congratulations as the Sam Pack Auto 
Group opens the Sam Pack Five Star Chevrolet Dealership in Carrollton, 
Texas.
