     CONGRATULATING DAVID H. ESTES ON HIS APPOINTMENT AS PROSECUTOR

  (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 congratulate 
David Estes on his appointment to be the new top prosecutor for the 
Southern District of Georgia.
  David has been the Acting U.S. Attorney since February of 2021. In 
2018, David joined the U.S. Attorney staff as the First Assistant U.S. 
Attorney for the Southern District.
  David began his career in 1997 with the Alabama Attorney General's 
Office, violent crimes division, as a violent crimes prosecutor. David 
also recently retired from the military with 34 years of experience 
under his belt.
  From 2004 to 2005, David was deployed to Iraq with the 122nd Corps 
Support Group where he served as the deputy staff judge advocate and 
chief military justice.
  He has been awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Iraq. And in 
2013, he was promoted to colonel and continued his service to our 
country as staff judge advocate for the 167th Theatre Sustainment 
Command.
  Twice, David was awarded the Legion of Merit medal for his 
accomplishments, and we are very excited to have him and his 
experience.
