                    RECOGNIZING LEOPOLD'S ICE CREAM

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 2026

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Leopold's Ice Cream and congratulate them on their 107th birthday.
  Leopold's Ice Cream was founded in Savannah, Georgia, in 1919 to 
three Greek immigrant brothers. The famous local ice cream spot threw 
quite the birthday party, consisting of $2 ice cream scoops, live 
music, face painting, and a special presentation of a restored World 
War I 48-star American flag belonging to the owner Stratton Leopold's 
family.
  Whether it is a hot August day or a cold February evening, you can 
always expect Leopold's to have the longest line in town. The 
incredible ice cream is not only a favorite to its residents, but a 
must-have to the millions of tourists that visit the city evey year.
  As part of a long standing tradition, childrern 12 and under who 
recite the Pledge of Allegience, receive a free child's scoop of ice 
cream.
  I thank Leopold's for always having the best ice cream around, 
especially on the hot summer days when we need it most.
