Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Basma Alawee for her outstanding service to her country through her work in the community advocating on behalf of fellow refugees. Basmas impact began two years ago. when she came with her husband. Ali Aljubouri. and their daughter Dana. to Jacksonville. Florida from Iraq in order to escape persecution resulting from their assistance to the United States. Not only did they come to America for E147 a better life. but they have bettered the lives of those now around them. Now in North Florida. the two have both given much back to their adopted community.
