                        Wednesday, April 2, 2008

  Mr. DAVID DAVIS of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the memory of Mrs. Juanita Perry, a longtime resident of the First 
District, who passed away on March 24th of this year.
  Mrs. Perry was a leader in the First District where she has touched 
many lives through her countless hours of dedication to her community. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family as they mourn her loss.
  Juanita loved to help anyone in need. She spent sixty-two years 
volunteering at Mountain Home Veterans Affairs Medical Center where she 
carried the name of ``Little Sweetheart of Mountain Home.''
  Juanita was also a lifetime member at Veterans of Foreign Wars 
Auxiliary Post 2108 and Military Order of the Purple Heart Post 224. 
Her time spent with the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women's Club 
was honorable and she received a Certificate of Award from the National 
Federation of Republican Women in 2007.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you and my fellow members to join me in honoring 
the life of Juanita Perry, a loving family member whose commitment and 
unwavering support to East Tennessee will be greatly missed.
