Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Don Moss of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, who is a dedicated volunteer at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Why is Mr. Moss so special? Because, over the past three decades, he has racked up 47,000 volunteer hours at the hospital--a Guinness World Record. Mr. Moss currently donates 48 hours of his time each week to the hospital--working 12 hours a day and serving up a healthy dose of good cheer and plain old helpfulness. He has a well-deserved reputation for looking out for patients and for his humor and humility. North Carolina is, indeed, blessed to be the home of people like Mr. Moss. His service to the community and his staggering number of volunteer hours illustrate a true spirit of selfless generosity to those in need. I congratulate Mr. Moss on his record-breaking time of service, and I hope that others will be inspired by his example to invest their time and abilities in their communities. ____________________
