               HONORING LOVE THY CITY DAY IN TYLER, TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. NATHANIEL MORAN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2025

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Love Thy City 
event held in Tyler, Texas, a community-wide initiative that reminds us 
that service to our neighbors doesn't start in Washington, it starts in 
the heart and in the home as it extends to every corner of this earth.
  Organized by local citizen-leaders, churches, nonprofits, and 
volunteers of all ages, Love Thy City is a day of service to others 
rooted in the great command to love our neighbors. That's a principle 
that transcends politics and parties. It transcends race and gender and 
every difference between us. It is our shared responsibility to care 
for everyone around us just as the Good Samaritan did--not because 
Government would tell us to, but because the Love of Christ propels us 
to.
  Whether it's cleaning up a park, helping a neighbor in need, or 
simply showing kindness to a stranger, Love Thy City challenges us to 
use our active faith to lead by example and invest in our communities--
not just with words, but with action.
  This is what makes East Texas strong; faith, service, and a deep love 
for God and for one another. I'm proud to honor this effort today and 
to recognize all those who give their time to love their neighbor.
