                        Thursday, June 25, 2009

  Mr. CARTER. Madam Speaker, the residents of Hico, Texas deserve to be 
greatly commended for the service they provided to their own city 
through the Pothole Patching Project on March 7, 2009. One hundred and 
fifty dedicated and eager volunteers prepared for weeks for a long day 
of repairing the city's roads. These hardworking volunteers not only 
made their roads safer for residents and travelers, but nurtured a 
strong sense of community while doing it. The fellowship that this act 
of volunteerism illustrates is nothing short of honorable and I hope 
other cities can mirror this kind of community enthusiasm and 
resourcefulness.
