  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Yowell family, who have been an integral part of our Central Texas 
community since 1951. Across the years, the Yowells have tirelessly 
served the public through their participation in numerous civic 
organizations. Killeen and all Central Texas owe much to these devoted 
individuals.
  The Yowell family's commitment to investing their gifts, talents, and 
abilities to improve Central Texas is a deeply held creed that speaks 
to the generosity and activism of true and devoted public servants. 
Civic-minded leaders like them work tirelessly to improve their 
communities, leading them to new heights and positioning them to 
continue into a bright future.
  Starting with the late Bill Yowell, this proud family has committed 
their time and considerable energies to a wide range of civic causes, 
ranging from education to veterans to economic development. Their 
impacts on the region are vast, ever-lasting, and cannot be overstated.
  Some go through life wondering if they have made a difference. The 
Yowell family does not have that problem. Their passion and selfless 
commitment to make Central Texas a better place is an example to us 
all. We cannot thank them enough for the immeasurable impact they have 
made. God bless them always.
