          COMMEMORATING FLORENCE COUNTY DEPUTY JOSEPH ANTWINE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM RICE

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 2, 2013

  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, it is with much sadness that 
I rise today to commemorate Florence County Deputy Joseph Antwine. Last 
week, the Florence County Sheriff's Department and South Carolina's 
Seventh District lost a young and upcoming deputy in the line of duty.
  Joseph Antwine of Lake City, South Carolina, was responding to a 
fellow deputy's call for immediate assistance when his car crashed. A 
recent Citadel graduate, Deputy Antwine earned his degree in criminal 
justice. At the Citadel, his leadership and loyal service to the Corps 
of Cadets was recognized when he was presented with the Col. Joseph E. 
Perkins Honor Committee Award.
  Deputy Antwine was a dependable young man, dedicated to his work and 
protecting our community. Even at his young age, he has been a role 
model to many and a model of public service.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and the 
Florence County Sheriff's Department.
