                        Friday, February 5, 2021

  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today, on the occasion of 
the Lunar New Year, to recognize and congratulate Mr. David D. Moon for 
his success as the Chairman and Founder of the Sam Moon Group. Mr. 
David Moon's impressive career in the retail sector has made an 
immeasurable contribution to the Texas economy.
  Mr. David Moon's career began after his relocation from South Korea 
to the United States as a salesman for a wig manufacturing firm in 
1971. A little more than ten years later, he followed through on his 
vision of building a family business rooted in integrity and diligence 
and established Sam Moon Trading, Inc. As the success of this business 
grew, he continued to open new Sam Moon Trading Company locations, 
which now span the state of Texas. Marked by their savvy ability to 
offer desirable women's fashion at low costs, Sam Moon Trading Company 
quickly became a household name. The Sam Moon Trading Company has now 
expanded into the Sam Moon Group, an enterprise of real estate 
development, dining, retail, and entertainment.
  In addition to his professional accomplishments, Mr. David Moon has 
served on the Board of Trustees for Dallas Baptist University and 
received numerous accolades including a Lifetime Achievement Award from 
Dallas Asian-American Chamber of Commerce; a Citizen's Medal of Merit 
from the Government of the Republic of Korea; and an Honorary Doctor of 
Humanities from Dallas Baptist University.
  Mr. David Moon has a degree from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies 
and currently resides in Las Colinas, Texas with his wife In Sun Moon.
  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the achievements of Mr. 
David Moon, and wish him good fortune and happiness in the New Year.
