                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 2016

  Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Judge Dan 
Winn, a good friend and dedicated public servant who passed away on May 
10th. Judge Winn served the people of Georgia as Polk County Solicitor, 
and Solicitor General and Superior Court Judge in the Tallapoosa 
Judicial Circuit, as well as Senior Judge for the State of Georgia.
   Judge Winn was a resident of Cedartown, Georgia. He selflessly 
risked his life for our country as a Marine fighter pilot during World 
War II and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. After the war, 
he went on to study law, and had a long and distinguished legal career.
   His lifetime achievements include serving as Georgia's Assistant 
Attorney General, a member of the Georgia Constitution Revision 
Commission and President of the World Jurist Foundation.
   Judge Winn was the embodiment of a servant leader and was well 
respected by everyone who knew him.
   Like his family and many friends, I will miss Judge Winn dearly but 
I know he lived life to the fullest and made a real difference in our 
community, state and country.
   He will not be forgotten.
