               HONORING CAPTAIN MICHAEL D'ANGELO GARIGAN

  (Mrs. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
extraordinary life of Captain Michael D'Angelo Garigan, a dedicated law 
enforcement officer from my district, who passed away earlier this 
year.
  Officer Garigan was born in Gordon County to a well-known and highly 
respected family. A Calhoun resident all his life, Captain Garigan 
invested in his community and bettered the lives of everyone around 
him.
  Captain Garigan served the people of Gordon County for over three 
decades as a deputy, detective, and coordinator for the Gordon County 
Sheriff's Office. In fact, Captain Garigan was decorated over a dozen 
times for exemplary police work.
  Outside the office, Captain Garigan was an active member of his 
community, serving his church as a deacon, broadcasting high school 
football games on the radio, and umpiring baseball and football games 
for local youth leagues.
  Captain Garigan's exemplary contribution to the people of Gordon 
County should be honored and remembered. That is why I have introduced 
House Resolution 301, commending Captain Garigan for his devotion to 
his family, community, church, and the Nation.
  My thoughts and prayers are with Captain Garigan's family and the 
people of Gordon County.
