              RECOGNITION OF THE COMMUNITY OF KUNA, IDAHO

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. C.L. ``BUTCH'' OTTER

                                of idaho

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 9, 2003

  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Master Sergeant 
Samuel Johnston and the proud community of Kuna, Idaho. Sergeant 
Johnston is serving in the Iraq War as a member of the Idaho National 
Guard. He was deployed to Kuwait in January--leaving his 60-acre farm 
unattended. Last week his neighbors in Kuna finished spring planting on 
the Johnston farm.
  Francis Murphey organized the volunteer group consisting of Dick 
Deutsche, Alan White, Leonard Flynn, Darrell Lee Robertson, Dave 
Reynolds, Jack Noble, John McPherson, Lavar K. and Layne Thornton, and 
Ed, Gayle and Roger Hodges.
  I bring to the attention of the House these residents of Kuna, Idaho 
as they exemplify the American spirit of cooperation and patriotism by 
providing for Sergeant Johnston and his family--while he, in turn, 
serves and protects our country.
