  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, Mrs. Ruby Marie Sings Langford Johnson'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, Mrs. Johnson led by doing behind the scenes, front and 
center for the state of Georgia, DeKalb County, her church, Beulah 
Baptist Church and for the DeKalb County chapter of the NAACP; 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 community 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 Mrs. 
Ruby Marie Sings Langford Johnson 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 Mrs. Ruby Marie Sings Langford Johnson of 
DeKalb County, Georgia is deemed worthy and deserving of this 
``Congressional Honor'' Mrs. Ruby Marie Sings Langford Johnson U.S. 
Citizen of Distinction in the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, This 28th day of June, 2013.
