                       RECOGNIZING DARRELL HARRIS

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of an 
individual in my district who has been the true embodiment of Iowa nice 
and midwestern tough his entire life.
  Darrell Harris has lived his entire life in rural southeastern Iowa.
  Darrell grew up very poor and dropped out of school in the eighth 
grade to help take care of his family.
  Throughout his life, Darrell spent time working on the railroad and 
started a family farm that is still in operation today.
  Darrell was lucky enough to marry the woman of his dreams and have 
three beautiful children with her.
  Sadly, his wife passed away at a young age, leaving Darrell as a 
single father to raise three young children.
  Nevertheless, Darrell kept his head down and he worked hard, never 
asking for help and always willing to lend a hand when others needed 
it.
  Darrell's work ethic, kindness, and never-give-up attitude are an 
inspiration to us all, and I am proud to represent him in Congress.
