Thank you, Mr. Clay, for your outstanding leadership on the committee and for your outstanding leadership in bringing forward this very, very appropriate and extraordinary resolution for a very extraordinary city that I have had the privilege of representing for many years that has now been redistricted over the years, and my colleague Hank Johnson now represents it. But once you represent Lilburn, you always represent the city of Lilburn. It is a fantastic city, made up of tremendous people who are very courageous, who are very smart, and who make a very significant contribution to every aspect of the forward progress of our great State of Georgia. So I am proud as a cosponsor of this resolution, which recognizes the history, the prominence, and the resilience, especially the resilience. Because you measure greatness not by the easy times; you measure greatness by the tough times that you go through and that you overcome. Such is the story of this great city of Lilburn, Georgia.
