                JOE HIGGINS AWARDED MARNE ROCKSTAR AWARD

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Joe Higgins, chairman of the Veterans of Chatham County organization, 
for being awarded the Marne Rockstar Award.

[[Page H8359]]

  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 distributors.
  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 say thank you, Joe, for giving to our servicemen and -women.
