                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 25, 2007

  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I am honored to pay special 
tribute to the outstanding women of the Lima Chapter of the Daughters 
of the American Revolution. The chapter marked its 100th anniversary 
with a special reception on June 3, 2007.
  Chartered on April 10, 1907, the Lima Chapter has served the people 
of Lima in countless ways through the years. From their work in support 
of servicemembers and veterans to their committed work with the youth 
of Allen County, Ohio, the women of the Lima DAR have compiled a long 
and distinguished record of service in times of war and peace.
  Fifty-two women have served the Lima Chapter as Regent, starting with 
Mrs. Clara Paine Ohler. The chapter's membership through the years has 
included women from all walks of life who have distinguished themselves 
in numerous ways through their service.
  The Lima DAR is especially noted for its work in local schools to 
promote civic education, reflecting the group's love of country and its 
high regard for the gift of freedom that we all enjoy. They are true 
examples of the DAR's high calling to ``cherish, maintain, and extend 
the institutions of American freedom.''
  Madam Speaker, I invite all of my colleagues to join me in paying 
tribute to the Lima Chapter of the Daughters of the American 
Revolution. Our Nation is better served through their hard work and 
diligence. We wish them all the best at their centennial celebration.
