  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, please recognize a dedicated and strong 
advocate for those who have been affected by domestic violence and 
sexual abuse. Juanita Battle of West Cape May passed away on October 7, 
2021. She was a hero to many, and her legacy will live on with all of 
those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Juanita was the proud 
founder of Cape May County's Coalition Against Rape and Abuse. Her 
Coalition provides counsel, support, and advocates for victims and 
survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She touched the 
hearts of many thousands of people during her forty-seven years of 
service, and she will live on in their hearts forever. Juanita truly 
was a pillar of strength in the Cape May Community and may she rest in 
peace. God Bless Juanita, and God Bless America.
