  Mrs. LESKO. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Don and Debra Luke 
for their dedication and commitment to Arizona and their support for 
organizations and candidates that uphold the principles and values that 
have made Arizona and our nation great.
  The Luke family has deep roots in Arizona. In 1873, Frank Luke moved 
to Phoenix, Arizona. Frank married Otilia and had 9 children. One of 
their children, Frank Luke, Jr. was a leading ace in WWI. Luke Air 
Force Base, just west of Phoenix, is named after him. Frank and 
Otilia's youngest son, Bill Luke was the founder of Bill Luke Chrysler-
Plymouth and was the head of the automobile dealership until he passed 
away. Don Luke, Bill and Dorothy Luke's son, started working in the 
family business at the age of 13, progressed up the ladder, and is now 
President and CEO of Bill Luke Dealerships. Don and Debra have three 
sons.
  Don and Debra Luke are great people. I have found them to be very 
friendly and sincere. They are so easy to talk with and we share many 
values together. Don and Debra really care about our community, state, 
and nation. I wish we had more people like Don and Debra Luke. They are 
truly great Americans.
  May their values and legacy live on for generations.
