                        Wednesday, May 15, 2013

  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, Ms. Mary Glenn's work is present in DeKalb County, Georgia, 
for all to see, being an advocate for the youth, the elderly, the poor 
and ordinary citizens like you and me; and
  Whereas, this remarkable woman gave of herself, her time, her talent 
and her life; she never asked for fame or fortune to uplift those in 
need, she just wanted to do what was right; and
  Whereas, Ms. Mary Glenn led by doing behind the scenes, front and 
center for the state of Georgia, DeKalb County, her church, Ebenezer 
Baptist Church and for her beloved sorority, Delta Sigma Theta 
Sorority, Inc.; this virtuous Proverbs 31 woman was a mother, 
grandmother, a daughter and a friend; she was our warrior, our 
matriarch, a woman of great integrity who remained true to the 
uplifting of our district until her end; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow a Congressional recognition on Ms. 
Mary Glenn for her leadership, friendship and service to all of the 
citizens in Georgia and throughout the Nation; 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 Ms. Mary Glenn of 
DeKalb County, Georgia is deemed worthy and deserving of this 
``Congressional Honor'': Ms. Mary Glenn, U.S. Citizen of Distinction in 
the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 9th day of February, 2013.
