        RECOGNIZING PETAL, MISSISSIPPI, ON ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. EZELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EZELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the city of Petal, 
Mississippi, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.
  For half a century, Petal has been a vibrant and thriving community 
known for its strong sense of pride, deep-rooted history, and 
outstanding contributions to south Mississippi. From its rich heritage 
to its remarkable growth, Petal has become a shining example of what 
makes our region so special.
  As their Representative, I have seen firsthand the hard work and 
dedication of Petal's residents, leaders, and businesses. They have 
built a city that not only honors its past but also embraces a bright 
future.
  This milestone is a testament to the resilience, unity, and spirit of 
this great community.
  I look forward to seeing Petal continue to grow, thrive, and inspire 
for many years to come.
  I congratulate Petal on 50 incredible years, and here is to the next 
50. Thank you for all you do for the Fourth District of Mississippi.
