Mr. Speaker, last week the American people lost a devoted public servant, Nancy Davis Reagan. As a former staff member of the Reagan administration, I will always appreciate the devotion of Nancy Reagan to the American people, especially to her husband ``Ronnie.'' Nancy Reagan will always be cherished for how she inspired a Nation and showed that goodwill prevailed. She demonstrated that service by showing small acts could make a world of difference. Nancy's fierce love for her husband and her country was her service. A passionate advocate for drug awareness and prevention, Nancy Reagan launched the ``Just Say No'' program to fight drug and alcohol abuse among young people to promote fulfilling lives. She strived to always make a positive impact for our citizens. Mrs. Reagan showed that no act of kindness, no act of love, is too small to be meaningful. She practiced what she preached, living every day to the fullest. In every sense of the word, she was the very model of a First Lady, wife, and mother. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Happy 13th birthday, Addison. ____________________
