REMEMBERING OFFICER DAVID HORTON
(Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to remember and honor Darien Police Officer David Horton of Ludowici, Georgia, who sadly passed away at the age of 45. David was a respected and honored member of his community.
After graduating from law enforcement training in 2014, he began his career with the Long County Sheriff's Office.
David had a heart for service and was awarded numerous accolades during his time in law enforcement. As an agency DUI Hero award winner, David was the definition of protect and serve.
He was not only a dedicated law enforcement officer but also a devoted father and citizen who was loved and respected by many.
I am thankful for David's lifetime of service and commitment to his community. I know his legacy will be forever treasured.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him during this most difficult time.
