00:08Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lieutenant Colonel Chaplin Reverend Dr.

00:15Achellarine Addison on her recent promotion at the Delaware Army National Guard.

00:20I rise today to congratulate Lieutenant Colonel Chaplin Reverend Dr. Achellarine Addison on her

00:25recent promotion at the Delaware Army National Guard. Earlier this month, I was honored to attend

00:31her promotion ceremony and celebrate her historic role as the first woman to hold this rank at the

00:36Delaware National Guard, and I was moved hearing about her commitment to her fellow guardsmen.

00:42Before her time at the Delaware National Guard, she served as the first woman chaplain at the

00:46National Guard Bureau in Arlington, Virginia. Her devotion to spiritual empowerment and

00:51trauma-informed healing has made her an indispensable leader to Delaware's Army National Guard,

00:56and I look forward to seeing the work she continues to do in shaping the spiritual lives of those

01:01around her. Well done, Lieutenant Colonel Addison. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the

01:09closing of Grassroots, a gift shop in Newark, Delaware, after 50 years in business. What started

01:15as a small shop on Newark's Main Street grew into a Delaware institution, with locations across

01:21our state, from Wilmington to Hocasson to Rehoboth Beach, but its heart always stayed in Newark.

01:28Grassroots weathered changing times. It survived recessions. It adapted as retail shifted online,

01:35and through it all, it remained a constant presence, helping define the character of downtown Newark for

01:40a generation. Marilyn Dickey, who co-founded Grassroots in 1975, poured more than half her life

01:47into the store. Grassroots wasn't just a business. It was part of the rhythm of Newark, a reminder that

01:55local businesses create connections and build community. As Grassroots closes this chapter and

02:01Marilyn begins a well-earned retirement, Delaware wishes you all the best and thanks you for your years

02:07of community service and creativity.
