RECOGNITION OF RICHARD ``DICK'' WALLACE
(Mr. Carter of Georgia was recognized to address the House for 5
minutes.)
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of
Richard ``Dick'' Wallace.
Dick was a man who led a captivating life growing up in Alexandria,
Virginia. From a young age, he exhibited an exceptional musical talent,
often playing intricate pieces by ear on multiple instruments.
Dick was an Eagle Scout, God and Country, and Order of the Arrow in
Boy Scouts.
He was passionate about educating students about the Federal
Government, playing an instrumental role in implementing the
Presidential Classroom, a program teaching high school students about
the U.S. Constitution and the workings of Washington, D.C.
In 1975, after the birth of his child, Richard Austen, the family
fell in love with and then moved to Savannah, Georgia.
As a people person and proud citizen of Savannah, Dick served the
community in many ways, including as a YMCA soccer coach, head of the
Military Civilian Affairs for the Savannah Chamber of Commerce, and
president of Ardsley Park Neighborhood Association, among countless
other accomplishments.

Dick will be missed. May his memory live on in the smiles of those he
profoundly impacted.
Recognition of Arrowhead Pointe Golf Course
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize
Arrowhead Pointe Golf Course, a well-kept, picturesque green nestled
within Richard B. Russell State Park in the Georgia mountains.
Offering breathtaking views of Lake Richard B. Russell, this course
has become a destination for golf lovers seeking both challenges and
tranquility. Ranked number eight on the 2025 USA Today 10 Best List,
Arrowhead Pointe is described as the epitome of serenity and offers an
excellent recreational experience to locals and visitors alike.
Beyond its natural beauty and top-tier design, Arrowhead Pointe is
praised for its affordability, making it accessible for golfers of all
ages and budgets. This course is more than just a place to play. It is
a retreat where families and friends can connect with nature, enjoy
healthy competition, and create lasting memories.
Arrowhead Pointe exemplifies the best of public golf, offering a
world-class experience, welcoming players with warm southern
hospitality, and fair prices.
Today, we celebrate Arrowhead Pointe Golf Course and its contribution
to Georgia's tourism, recreation, and community well-being.
Congratulating Berry College
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Berry
College, a well respected and prestigious university located in Mount
Berry, Georgia.
Leisure and Travel ranked Berry College as the second-most beautiful
campus in America. The institution is breathtakingly picturesque,
offering stunning views of lakes, fields, forests, and mountains. Not
only is it one of the most beautiful, but it is reportedly the world's
largest as well, encompassing nearly 27,000 acres and offering 88 miles
of trails.
Beyond its attractive exterior, Berry College offers state-of-the-art
education to over 2,000 undergraduates and nearly 200 graduate
students. As a private, nonprofit college, Berry consistently gives
back to Georgia and the United States through generous contributions to
student scholarships, academic resources, classroom technology, the
arts, athletics, and high-quality facilities.
Berry College exhibits the best of private education, providing
students with limitless opportunities to pursue their academic and
professional aspirations.
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Berry College for elevating the standard
of higher education in Georgia.
Recognition of NFA Burger, the Best Burger in Georgia
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
unexpected but powerful example of American entrepreneurial spirit.
Recently, Southern Living Magazine named NFA Burger the best
hamburger in the entire State of Georgia.
Sometimes, the American Dream looks different from what you would
expect, and in this case it looks like a cheeseburger served from a
Chevron gas station.
Founded by Billy Kramer, NFA Burger has served roughly 200,000
perfectly seasoned patties to long lines of locals and travelers since
2019.
NFA Burger's recognition was earned without flashy branding and large
investors. This emphasized the quality, consistency, and community
support of a small business operating in a humble setting.
This commendation serves as a reminder that entrepreneurship thrives
in small towns and family-owned storefronts across America.
Today, I congratulate NFA Burger for this tremendous achievement.
