  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of 
Stanley Henson of Blue Ridge, Georgia. After serving Fannin County for 
years as a volunteer fireman, he tragically passed away on Monday, 
March 12.
  In his career, Stanley committed his life to helping his small 
northeast Georgia community. Friends described him as a ``brother,'' 
someone they could always rely on.
  Even in the hours leading up to his death, he showed his servant's 
heart by assisting victims of a car crash. Because he never hesitated 
to help someone in need, the Fannin County Fire Department made plans 
to promote Stanley to the rank of lieutenant to honor his service.
  Stanley's kindness and courage has left a lasting impact on our 
corner of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I ask that we all continue to pray for 
this hero's loved ones in the coming days.
