                      Thursday, February 11, 2021

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor Officer Brian Sicknick, who tragically passed away from the 
injuries he sustained from the U.S. Capitol riots on January 6th.
  Officer Sicknick was a New Jersey native who joined the Capitol 
Police in 2008 after serving in the New Jersey Air National Guard.
  He went through two different deployments and supported our country 
during the war in Afghanistan until he was honorably discharged.
  Officer Sicknick's family said he wanted to be a police officer his 
entire life and joined the Air National Guard as a means to that end.
  He is a hero who will be remembered by his untethered commitment to 
protecting all those within and around the hallowed halls of Congress.
  I am thankful for Officer Sicknick's legacy, and my thoughts and 
prayers go out to his family, friends, the Capitol Police, and all who 
knew him during this most difficult time.
