                          HONORING RON PLUMMER

  (Mrs. DEMINGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. DEMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. Ron 
Plummer, Manager of Orange County, Florida, Office of Emergency 
Management, who passed away last week.
  Ron was a dedicated public servant, husband, and father. Ron served 
in the Army and the Marine Corps for 27 years.
  Since 2002, he has helped our community through countless storms and 
disasters. As every Floridian knows, getting through hurricanes and 
other emergencies requires calm leadership and deep compassion.
  Ron lifted the spirit of storm-stricken neighbors, brought kindness 
to those with special needs, and made hope a tangible presence.
  Ron united peers and partners to keep us safe, and shared his vast 
expertise throughout the State and the Nation.
  Ron Plummer will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and we owe 
him a debt of gratitude for a life well lived.
