CONGRATULATING HEARD, McELROY & VESTAL ON 75TH ANNIVERSARY
(Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my good friends and community leaders who have been serving my hometown of Shreveport for a remarkable 75 years.
The CPA firm of Heard, McElroy & Vestal has been an integral part of our community since 1946. In fact, founding partner Charles McElroy served as one of the first chairmen of the Louisiana Certified Public Accountants.
From the very beginning, the firm has established itself as a pillar of trust, integrity, and competence. Their firm is now one of the largest public accounting groups in northwest Louisiana.
This firm and its over 100 employees have worked faithfully for the people of Louisiana every day, and they have continued to be a cornerstone for our region. We are blessed to have their mission of accounting excellence and commitment to integrity as a part of our community.
Thank you to my friends for serving so well for all of these years, and happy 75th anniversary.
