  Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to pay 
tribute to Garren

``Jon G'' and Kelly Kirkman, the proprietors of Jon G's Barbecue in 
Peachland, North Carolina. After only a year in business, Jon G's has 
already become a local institution, as evidenced by the consistently 
long line of customers who are readv to enjoy good barbecue. For the 
Kirkmans, barbecue is truly a labor of love and the establishment of 
their restaurant took many years of hard work and experimentation.
  Small business owners have been ravaged by the government response to 
the pandemic, and it is tremendously important during this time to 
highlight entrepreneurship and to support small businesses in our local 
communities. Jon G and Kelly, I hope your hard work will continue to 
pay off and that your barbecue restaurant will be a Peachland 
institution for years to come.
