                      RECOGNIZING DR. DONALD MOORE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Dr. 
Donald Moore of Madison, North Carolina. For over 40 years, Dr. Moore 
has served as a physician at Western Rockingham Family Medicine.
  Dr. Moore understands that God humbly uses him as an instrument to 
care for those who are entrusted to him, and he believes each patient 
is an extension of his own family. That mindset, Mr. Speaker, 
encapsulates the true essence of a servant's heart.
  After graduating from Madison-Mayodan High School with the title of 
valedictorian, Dr. Moore attended the University of North Carolina at 
Chapel Hill where he majored in biology. Dr. Moore was then accepted at 
Bowman Gray Wake Forest School of Medicine.
  Upon graduation, Dr. Moore had many opportunities presented to him 
that might have awarded him more comfort and stability in life, but for 
him, this was not the primary goal.
  Instead, he turned his gaze to returning home to care for the 
teachers, family members, and friends who had loved him and equipped 
him with the necessary tools to pursue medicine.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear to see that Dr. Moore not only possesses a 
servant's heart, but he also understands that service to a community is 
intrinsic to bettering the lives of those around us. His daughter 
Lindsay describes him as: ``A man who knows that he's made in the image 
of God, and he understood at a young age what it meant to be a servant 
leader in the community he so loves.''
  Dr. Moore's wife, Sue, and three daughters believe that he is more 
than just a father; he is a healer, a teacher, and a hero to the 
countless people he has cared for.
  Mr. Speaker, may God continue to bless Dr. Moore and his family as he 
enters retirement. I have no doubt that Dr. Moore's legacy, as well as 
his future service, will continue to impact the lives of those in the 
community.
