Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge a true southern institution, Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room in Savannah, Georgia, which was recently highlighted on Southern Living's bucket list. In the Hostess City of the South, it is only fitting that lunch is served with true southern hospitality. At Mrs. Wilkes', this means gathering around tables set for 10 where guests take a seat, share a meal, and leave as friends. Every day at 11 o'clock, the doors swing open, inviting everyone to enjoy a rotating menu of classic southern home cooking all served family style. The meal is always a surprise. You never know what the day's entrees and sides will be, and that is part of the restaurant's charm. Whether it is crispy fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, or black-eyed peas, every dish is steeped in tradition. Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room isn't just a restaurant; it is an experience. It is a place where history, hospitality, and home-cooked meals unite to create something truly special. Commending the Islands of St. Simons, Jekyll, and Tybee

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and the legacy of Lieutenant Malcolm A. Champagne, a World War II veteran and Purple Heart recipient who passed away in December. As a true patriot, he told his parents on December 17, 1942: ``The country is in trouble. I need to go.'' He then commissioned into the Army Air Forces. He served as a member of the Eighth Air Force, which was activated in Savannah, Georgia, in January 1942. The Eighth Air Force, commonly referred to as ``The Mighty Eighth,'' is regarded as one of the greatest air forces in history. On October 14, 1943, the day known as Black Thursday, Lieutenant Champagne's B-17 bomber was attacked and plummeted from the sky. He was captured by the Nazis, but despite injuries, malnutrition, and psychological distress, his spirit remained unbroken. On April 29, 1945, he was liberated after 18 months in captivity. In 2023, 80 years after his service in World War II, Lieutenant Champagne was awarded a Purple Heart at the age of 102. Malcolm Champagne's legacy of bravery, patriotism, and strength will continue to inspire generations of Americans.

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Port of Brunswick as the busiest port in the Nation for heavy equipment and auto shipments.

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following proclamation: Whereas, for millennia, the Jewish people have sustained their shared religious, cultural, and ethnic identity and traditions in the face of enslavement, persecution, genocide, segregation, and discrimination, and all manner of adversity; and Whereas, ever since the first Jew set foot in America in 1654, members of the Jewish community have made indelible contributions to the culture, history, and social fabric of Georgia and the United States of America, strengthening the country and helping shape all areas of American life; and Whereas, the first 42 Jewish immigrants arrived in Savannah, Georgia, on July 11, 1733, making Savannah the largest Jewish settlement in the English colonies in North America at the time; and Whereas, the belief in the greatness of the American way of life, the freedoms enshrined in American law and jurisprudence, and the opportunities sustained by American democracy drew generations of Jewish immigrants to America, including Jews fleeing persecution and pogroms in Europe and the Middle East, Holocaust survivors, and Jews trapped behind the Iron Curtain; and Whereas, this history encouraged many Jews to become leading proponents and supporters of the civil rights movement, marching shoulder to shoulder with African Americans and others, united in support for equal rights, equal protection under the law, and the recognition and respect of human dignity; and Whereas, the Jewish community has prominently participated in virtually every civil rights effort in the American experience, fighting against discrimination and bigotry in all its forms and demanding the equal rights of every member of society; and Whereas, despite the advances made in promoting social justice for other minority groups, the Jewish community has continued to be subjected to antisemitism and Jew-hatred, including discrimination in the workplace, at school, and in public spaces; and Whereas, this antisemitism and Jew hatred has manifested in places of work, on campuses, and in society, expressing itself as both discrimination and violence targeting Jews for their identity and seeking to deny their shared identity, including their indigenous connection to their ancestral homeland; and Whereas, hate crimes directed against the Jewish community have skyrocketed in recent years, inspiring the formation of a grassroots End Jew Hatred civil rights movement to alter public discourse and make Jew hatred unacceptable in contemporary society, empowering Jews with positivity and strength to discover and enjoy their heritage in whichever manner they choose, without fear of attack or persecution; and Whereas, we all share an obligation to condemn and combat Jew hatred in all its forms; and Whereas, April 29, 2022, marked the recognition of the first #EndJewHatred Day, on which people joined together to commit to ending Jew hatred across the United States and to work toward the promise of a bright future that can only be achieved by fighting racism and bigotry today; and Whereas, we recognize the urgent need to stand resolute against Jew hatred so that the intergenerational trauma of the past shall never be repeated; now, therefore, be it Proclaimed, that I, Honorable Earl L. ``Buddy'' Carter, in recognition of the need to end Jew hatred in this generation, declare and proclaim every April 29 to be #EndJewHatred Day; and be it further Proclaimed, that I, Honorable Earl L. ``Buddy'' Carter, affirm and proclaim that the 1st Congressional District of Georgia condemns Jew hatred in all its forms and shall stand resolute to end discrimination against, and persecution of, the Jewish community.
