WHEREAS, Alfonzo L. Hall, the President and Chief Executive Officer of International Agile Manufacturing, LLC (I.A.M.), decided to pay tribute to the victims of the Attack on America on September 11, 2001; and

WHEREAS, out of his desire to honor the victims of this horrible act of terrorism was born the idea of creating a commemorative medallion cast from some of the structural steel at the site of the World Trade Center in New York that collapsed on that fateful day; and

WHEREAS, he strongly believed that the tremendous human loss could be memorialized and the contributions and lives of victims remembered with care by recasting some of the steel into simple markers that contain a meaningful message regarding American unity; and

WHEREAS, the proceeds from the sale of these commemorative medallions are to augment the national fund for the World Trade Center victims and genuine compassion and care forged this simple symbol of our strength as a nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize and commend Alfonzo L. Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of International Agile Manufacturing, LLC (I.A.M.), on his efforts to commemorate the human loss on September 11, 2001, and invite him to appear before the House at a time to be determined by the Speaker.
