REMEMBERING AND HONORING OFFICER BRIAN SICKNICK
______
HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER
of georgia
in the house of representatives
Thursday, February 11, 2021
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor Officer Brian Sicknick, who tragically passed away from the injuries he sustained from the U.S. Capitol riots on January 6th.
Officer Sicknick was a New Jersey native who joined the Capitol Police in 2008 after serving in the New Jersey Air National Guard.
He went through two different deployments and supported our country during the war in Afghanistan until he was honorably discharged.
Officer Sicknick's family said he wanted to be a police officer his entire life and joined the Air National Guard as a means to that end.
He is a hero who will be remembered by his untethered commitment to protecting all those within and around the hallowed halls of Congress.
I am thankful for Officer Sicknick's legacy, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, the Capitol Police, and all who knew him during this most difficult time.
