[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 8] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 11451] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]RECOGNIZING DOUGLAS AND ESTELLE ROGERS ______ HON. JEFF MILLER of florida in the house of representatives Wednesday, June 4, 2008 Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today in recognition of Douglas and Estelle Rogers for their exemplary dedication to the city of Laurel Hill, Florida. For years Douglas and Estelle Rogers have been serving the city of Laurel Hill, Florida. With resumes stocked with civil service positions and community outreach, the Rogers have helped advance their burgeoning city and, subsequently, have become engrained in the city's history. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rogers have served on the Laurel Hill City Council. In addition to being the city's mayor for a year, Mr. Rogers was also the chief of Laurel Hill's Fire Department. He is also an honored veteran, having served in WWII from 1944 to 1946. Mr. Roger's accomplishments are rivaled only by those of his wife who established the ``Citizen of the Year'' program and authors the ``Up on the Hill'' column which appears in the local paper. After countless hours of working behind the scenes, the Rogers are being recognized for their outstanding commitment to the area. The First District of Florida is incredibly fortunate to have received the services provided by the Rogers and they will be remembered for their philanthropic efforts. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to recognize Doug and Estelle Rogers for their exemplary service to the community of Laurel Hill. ____________________
