  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I present the following U.S. 
Citizen of Distinction.
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this one woman 
who has given of herself in order for others to stand; and
  Whereas, Barbara Nunn McCarthy was a community leader, making history 
as the first woman to serve on the Rockdale County Board of 
Commissioners; and
  Whereas, she provided leadership and service to so many community 
institutions including the Rockdale United Way, the County Extension 
Service, the C.E. Steele Community Center, Rockdale Retired Educators 
Association, Habitat for Humanity, the Rockdale Coalition for Children 
and Families and the Conyers Rotary Club; and
  Whereas, Mrs. McCarthy never asked for fame or fortune, nor found a 
job too small or too big; she gave of herself, her time and her many 
talents by demonstrating unwavering commitment to protecting and 
serving the citizens of Rockdale County; and
  Whereas, she was a wife, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a teacher and a 
friend; she was also a woman of great integrity who throughout her life 
remained true to uplifting and serving; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
recognizes Barbara Nunn McCarthy as a citizen of great worth and so 
noted distinction; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do 
hereby attest to the 113th Congress that she is deemed worthy and 
deserving of this ``Congressional Honor'' by declaring Barbara Nunn 
McCarthy, U.S. Citizen of Distinction in the 4th Congressional District 
of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 30th day of March, 2013.
