  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation.
  Whereas, In the late 1700's, the Lewis Saxon Shubert family began 
with their oldest known family ancestor Amy Sharpe in Burke County, 
Georgia; since that time, they have blessed us with descendants across 
the country who have helped to shape and mold our nation; and
  Whereas, today we honor all of the matriarchs and patriarchs, who are 
pillars of strength for the Lewis Saxon Shubert family; and
  Whereas, in our beloved Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, we 
are honored to have many members of the Lewis Saxon Shubert family who 
are some of our most productive citizens; and
  Whereas, family is one of the most honored and cherished institutions 
in the world, we take pride in knowing that families such as the Lewis 
Saxon Shubert family have set aside this time to fellowship with each 
other, honor one another and to pass along history to each other by 
meeting at this year's family reunion in Atlanta, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Lewis Saxon Shubert 
family; Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby 
proclaim, July 20, 2014 as The Lewis Saxon Shubert Family Reunion Day 
in the 4th Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 20th day of July, 2014.

                          ____________________
