“Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize an outstanding constituent from my district in south Florida, Isaac Behar, a longtime humanitarian, philanthropist, and businessman. Ike will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Miami Jewish Health Networks. Ike's American journey embodies the American Dream. At the age of 20, Isaac left Havana for the United States with only $50 and the dream of building a new life and helping others. He proudly served our country, the United States, in the Army in the Korean War. Upon completion of his service, he started his own clothing business, the Ike Behar Company, with over 400 employees. After seeing the great care that his mother-in-law received from the Miami Health Networks, Isaac decided to make sure that others would be able to take advantage of their great services. Due to his generosity and commitment, the Miami Health Networks have been able to continue to serve all south Floridians. Ike, I would like to commend you for your service, for your support for our community and our Nation. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to improving the lives of all south Floridians. Thank you. ____________________”
