  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Retired Captain Joe Hyde, who passed away in his home on 
June 10 surrounded by family.
  Captain Hyde, a 1965 graduate of Independence High School, served 
with the Southaven Police Department for 31 years. He was one of the 
fast investigators and first SWAT team members to serve the Department 
and continued to serve the Senatobia Police Department for another 10 
years. Captain Hyde, also a part of the Mississippi National Guard, was 
one of only two officers to receive the Department's Medal of Honor, 
its highest commendation, for valor, combat, and life saving skills.
  Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Barbara; his stepchildren: 
Kim Mitchell (Ricky), John Parker (Christy), and Christy McGregor 
(Kevin); as well as many friends and extended family members.
  I am thankful for Joe ``Captain'' Hyde's service to Mississippi. He 
will be greatly missed by his family, community, and all whom he 
encountered.
