   CONGRATULATING DR. LUCY GREENE, RECIPIENT OF THE W. PARKER GREENE 
                              LEGACY AWARD

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Lucy Greene, who was awarded the W. Parker Greene Legacy Award on 
September 16, 2019.
  Dr. Greene, along with her late husband, Parker Greene, were staunch 
advocates for Moody Air Force Base for the last 40 years. During this 
time, the pair and their advocacy could not have been more important to 
the First Congressional District of Georgia.
  They have been referred to as our region's civilian secret weapons in 
keeping Moody Air Force Base open and viable. Making relationships with 
generals at the Department of Defense, they kept Moody Air Force Base 
off the list for base closures. In turn, they kept the Valdosta 
community churning.
  But on her own, Dr. Lucy Greene was critical in supporting the airmen 
at the base. She taught courses for airmen who had children with 
developmental disorders. She even handed out fabric softener sheets so 
the airmen could keep the sand gnats away.
  Congratulations on your award, Dr. Greene. You deserve it.
