                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 20, 2022

  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Glen and Kerry Fletcher, who are jointly being honored as the 2021 
Citizen of the Year by the Corona Chamber of Commerce. Glen and Kerry 
have been true leaders in my hometown of Corona for more than three 
decades, and residents throughout our community deeply appreciate their 
many contributions.
  Glen and Kerry first met in high school where Kerry was a song leader 
and Glen was president of the Future Farmers of America. After a few 
dates, Kerry was introduced to the family business, Pete's Road 
Service, which was run by Pete and Clara Fletcher. Soon after, Kerry 
would join Glen by working at the business and contributing to its 
success. Eventually they would marry, and after living for stretches in 
Fullerton and Norco, the Fletcher family moved to Corona in 1986. In 
addition to expanding Pete's Road Service, the Fletcher family grew 
with the additions of their children, Amanda, Melissa, and Nathan.
  Over the past 30 years, the Fletchers have volunteered their time and 
resources into the Corona community in many ways. With children active 
in youth athletics, the Fletchers recognized a need for additional 
soccer development opportunities in the region. In 1992, they founded 
the Corona United Soccer Club, and Glen served as its President for 12 
years. Not to be outdone, Kerry contributed in a variety of roles over 
the years, including as a coach, Board Treasurer, and Registrar. In 
2005, Glen joined the Corona Rotary where he chaired the club's 
Lobsterfest fundraiser in 2011 and served as President in the 2011/2012 
year. Glen and Kerry have also been members of the Navy League and a 
number of other local clubs and organizations benefitting our city.
  Today, Glen and Kerry enjoy another treasured role--being 
grandparents. With their incredible record of service, the Fletchers 
are incredibly deserving of the Citizen of the Year award from the 
Corona Chamber of Commerce. I would like to thank Glen and Kerry for 
their dedication to our community and wish them the very best in the 
future.
