                    HONORING THE LIFE OF JACK MILLER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor Coach Jack Miller of Tybee Island, Georgia, who passed away on 
June 23 at the age of 91.
  Jack dedicated his life to mentoring and inspiring young athletes in 
the community. Jack's head coaching career started at Vidalia High 
School in 1961 and would span 53 years at 11 different schools. He 
recorded over 700 wins during his career.
  Jack was defined by his work ethic, which he passed along to his 
players. As a lifetime coach, mentor, and motivator, Jack earned 
numerous awards throughout his career, including the Nike Coach of the 
Year Lifetime Achievement Award and the John F. Hodges Oasis Award for 
his outstanding achievement in sports in Savannah.
  The only thing he loved more than coaching was his loving family and 
friends.
  Jack's positive impact on his players went well beyond his athletic 
fields, and I know his legacy will remain. My thoughts and prayers are 
with his family, friends, and all those who knew him during this most 
difficult time.
