  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I present the following U.S. 
Citizen of Distinction:
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the leadership and service of 
Mr. Harold S. Buckley, Sr.; and
  Whereas, Mr. Buckley served our nation with honor and valor in the 
United States Army. He demonstrated unquestionable leadership and 
courage as a soldier devoted in protecting our nation; and
  Whereas, Mr. Buckley served and led our district in DeKalb County as 
a steadfast pillar of our community by being ever so watchful of issues 
that would hinder constituents. His 30-year tenure on the MARTA Board 
of Directors stands as the longest in the Authority's History. He 
served residential and commercial clients through his thriving real 
estate office; and
  Whereas, Mr. Buckley advised many elected and appointed officials on 
issues concerning the public, he also promoted supporting local small 
businesses; and served as a history-making member of the DeKalb Board 
of Realtors; and
  Whereas, he never asked for fame or fortune, nor found a job too 
small or too big; he gave of himself, his time, his talent and his life 
to uplift those in need by demonstrating unwavering commitment to 
protecting and serving the citizens of DeKalb County; and
  Whereas, he was a husband, a father, a grandfather and friend; he was 
a man of great integrity who remained true to the uplifting and service 
of my district; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
recognizes Mr. Harold S. Buckley, Sr., as a citizen of great worth and 
so noted distinction; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., 
do hereby attest to the 114th Congress that Mr. Harold S. Buckley, Sr., 
is deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional Honor'' by 
declaring Mr. Harold S. Buckley, Sr. U.S. Citizen of Distinction in the 
4th Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 27th day of February, 2016.
