  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
thank Appalachian Christian Village for 55 years of excellence and 
care. As the first retirement community in Johnson City, I applaud all 
the amazing things they've accomplished throughout these very special 
years.
  Life at the communities of Appalachian Christian Village offers 
exceptional opportunities for new experiences, new friendships, and a 
new way of life.
  Madam Speaker, this community has become one of the most favorable 
places to retire in the country in terms of the crime rate, cost-of-
living, and access to excellent medical services, among other 
components.
  I am so thankful to have this wonderful community in Washington 
County. Their presence is a tremendous contribution. I wish all of 
those at Appalachian Christian Village another successful 55 years.
  I am proud to represent all at Appalachian Christian Village in 
Congress, and I will continue to protect the values of the constituency 
while I am in office.

                          ____________________
