                         Monday, April 16, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mary Porter. Mary was awarded the Presidential Medal at 
the Lions Club International Iowa state convention.
  Mary was recognized at the event as a faithful aide to her husband as 
Chaplain for many years. She travels to locations throughout the state, 
providing meaningful memorial services for Lions members who have 
passed. She uses her ventriloquist skills to recruit new members to the 
Lions organization.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Mary for receiving this 
outstanding award as a faithful volunteer. I am proud to represent her 
in the United States Congress and I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Mary 
and wishing her nothing but continued success.
