                         Tuesday, June 22, 2021

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the retirement of Corinth Police Department Lieutenant Lane Fowler, Sr.
  In 2004, Lt. Fowler joined the Corinth Police Department. His desire 
to help people was the reason he chose to launch a career in law 
enforcement. Over the course of his 17-year career, Lt. Fowler 
fulfilled his duties with a sense of pride.
  One of his most rewarding achievements was serving as the leader of 
the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program. During his 
eight years working with fifth grade students, Lt. Fowler taught them 
about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and making good 
choices with their lives. Lt. Fowler said it was his goal to teach 
children that law enforcement officers are not to be feared. It was his 
goal to build good relationships with members of the community of all 
ages.
  On Friday, June 11, Lt. Fowler's retirement was celebrated during a 
ceremony hosted by his fellow police officers with the Corinth Police 
Department. It was my honor to thank him for his dedication to the 
citizens of Corinth and for his pledge to protect their safety. Lt. 
Fowler's service will always be remembered.
  Lt. Fowler is married to Tonia Fowler. They have five children: Kacie 
Blakney; Johnson Fowler, Jr.; Sidney Robertson; Mikki Holmes, and 
Justin Holmes. The Fowlers have six grandchildren: Lainey Blakney; 
Corbin Blakney; Caben Robbins; Eli Robbins; Hadley Holmes, and Anna 
Grace Holmes.
  I am grateful for Lt. Fowler's lifetime of service to North 
Mississippi and thank him for his commitment to the Corinth community.
