HONORING THE LIFE OF FOSTER FRIESS
(Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege today to rise to honor
the life of Foster Friess, an American patriot who was a warrior for
conservative and Christian values.
Foster truly lived the American Dream. He started his own business
that led to incredible success. But Foster leaves behind a legacy that
is far greater than success, as his generosity impacted the lives of
countless people.
His favorite Bible verse from Galatians: ``Carry each other's
burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.''
To Foster and his wife, Lynnette, that verse was more than words; it
was put into action daily. They were passionate about charitable giving
and always looking for ways to lend their support to people in need.
He will be missed by many, and my prayers are especially with his
wife, Lynnette, their 4 children and 15 grandchildren.
Foster's life glorified God, and his legacy will live on far beyond
his years. We must all learn from his example.
