  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Evangelist Barbara Green, a devoted Crossing Guard in Clinton, MS.
  Barbara Green is a native of Bolton, MS, and now resides in the City 
of Raymond. She is a mother of 2 children, a grandmother of 3 and a 
great grandmother of 2. Barbara Green started her first job right out 
of high school at Blackstone restaurant on Farris Street in Jackson, 
MS. She then went on to work at Hunter Engineering for 17 years.
  After retirement a friend of Barbara Green's informed her of an open 
position at Sumner Hill for a Crossing Guard, she then went to try it 
out and fell in love with the job.
  She has been a Crossing Guard for 14 years in the Clinton Community. 
Some of Barbara Green's most genuine moments are seeing the kids and 
parents every day as she directs them safely through traffic with a 
smile on her face.
  Outside of her inspirational job as a crossing guard, she is a 
devoted community servant. Mrs. Green is a choir member and Evangelist 
at Rose Hill Missionary Baptist Church and Corner Stone Missionary 
Baptist Church.
  When asked what words she lives by, Evangelist Green expressed her 
favorite Bible Scripture which is ``I can do all things through Christ 
who strengthens me.'' Philippians 4:13
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Evangelist 
Barbara Green for her hard work and dedication to her community.
