HONORING OLDER AMERICANS OF THE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RICHARD B. NUGENT

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 2011

  Mr. NUGENT. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, May is National Elder American Month; and
  Whereas, the longer, healthier lives older Americans are living have 
allowed them to be more engaged in our society and contribute even 
further to the country for which they have already given so much; and
  Whereas, older Americans continue to play a significant role in 
supporting and enriching our communities; and
  Whereas, an appreciation for seniors and the sacrifices they have 
made for our Nation must be reflected through our efforts to meet their 
needs and goals; and
  Whereas, this month citizens and leaders gather to acknowledge the 
many ways seniors have improved the lives of Americans; and
  Whereas, the Partners Club at Oak Hill Hospital is holding a special 
event to recognize the occasion;
  Therefore, I, Richard B. Nugent, Member of Congress representing the 
Fifth Congressional District of Florida, do hereby express my support 
for efforts to recognize elder Americans in Florida and across this 
Nation.
