                HONORING THE LIFE OF TROOPER JOHN HORTON

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Trooper 
John Horton of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. On January 3, he 
passed away in a tragic accident in the line of duty. He was a 15-year 
veteran of the unit and was assigned to Rutherford County.
  His two younger siblings, James and Joe, served alongside him at one 
point in the Highway Patrol. They were the first and only trio of 
siblings to ever work simultaneously in the Highway Patrol in North 
Carolina's history.
  My prayers go out to Trooper Horton's family, his wife, and six 
children. May his memory and service to his community serve as an 
inspiration for future generations of law enforcement officers to come.
