                 WALSTONBURG BEST OF SMALL-TOWN AMERICA

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Walstonburg, North 
Carolina, a town of 208 residents in my district, is a shining example 
of the best of small-town USA.
  This past weekend, the Walstonburg American Legion Post 332 hosted 
the town's 15th annual Proud to be an American Day, a way this tight-
knit community uplifts and honors our country's veterans, Active Duty 
servicemembers, and fallen military members.
  This Proud to be an American Day was the first, however, without the 
late former Representative Walter B. Jones, Jr., and everyone missed 
his presence.
  Mr. Speaker, this community proves making a difference doesn't 
require size, only passion.
