                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Joe Higgins, Chairman of the Veterans of Chatham County organization, 
for being awarded the Marne Rockstar Award.
  The Marne Rockstar program recognizes private citizens for their 
dedication to serving Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, which are 
both in Georgia's First Congressional District. Recipients of the award 
must show that they have given back to the bases through outstanding 
public service. Joe Higgins has done just that. As a result of him 
winning this prestigious award, Joe's photo, along with a description 
of his service, will be permanently displayed at division headquarters.
  Throughout the years, Joe has given back to the military bases in 
many ways. He has given turkeys to junior soldiers at Thanksgiving, 
arranged meals for over 700 families for Family Day, and has secured 
donations from local distributers. Joe has gone above and beyond with 
every opportunity he has gotten. He could not be more deserving of this 
award.
  On behalf of myself and the First Congressional District of Georgia, 
I want to say thank you to Joe for giving back to our service men and 
women.
