   Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Rotary Club of Jasper and Georgia Mountains Hospice for teaming up to 
host an important appreciation event for members of the public safety 
community in Pickens County, Georgia and the city of Jasper, Georgia.

working together to carry the mantle by hosting a public safety 
appreciation dinner, Honoring Our Heroes, for

the sole purpose of recognizing and thanking those who put their lives 
on the line on behalf of our communities.
  This is exactly the type of initiative that represents the true 
values of the good people in my district. While I am humbled by, and 
grateful for, their efforts, I am not surprised by this true reflection 
of their priorities and their character.
  The often thankless undertakings of our men and women in public 
safety are what keep the fabric of our great nation together by saving 
our lives, protecting our property and providing peace of mind in an 
often chaotic world. On behalf of the people of Northeast Georgia, I 
want to thank the Rotary Club of Jasper and Georgia Mountains Hospice 
for making Public Safety Employees a priority.
