      HONORING UNITED STATES CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER EUGENE GOODMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 15, 2021

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, as we move forward and heal from the 
January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, I rise to honor U.S. 
Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman. An Iraq combat veteran and 
former member of the XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, Officer 
Goodman was an American hero long before he valiantly protected this 
body.
  Officer Goodman risked his life on January 6, 2021, as he lured a 
violent mob away from an unguarded entrance to the U.S. Senate Chamber. 
His courageous actions that day protected our colleagues, their staff, 
and our democracy. Officer Goodman represents the very best of law 
enforcement, and to him our nation owes an immeasurable debt.
  As Fort Bragg's Congressman, I extend my most heartfelt appreciation 
to Officer Goodman on behalf of North Carolina and our entire country.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring U.S. Capitol Police 
Officer Eugene Goodman.
