                       Thursday, November 3, 2022

  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize the life of 
Coach Sammy Dantone Jr. He committed his life to the service of his 
fellow man through a long and distinguished career, and I rise today to 
recognize him as a dedicated American leader whose example will 
continue to inspire many who wish to make the world around them a 
better place for their neighbors, friends, and family.
  Coach Dantone had a distinguished career, coaching at Greenwood High 
School, Pillow Academy, Brandon Academy, Jackson Academy, Madison 
County Schools, and Brandon High School.
  As a football coach across the state of Mississippi, he helped many 
young people grow into leaders and meet their potential in life through 
his example. He inspired countless young men and women to give it their 
all, and he did it with consideration and compassion. Coach Dantone was 
a remarkable person who will be cherished by those who had the pleasure 
of playing for him or working alongside the legendary Mississippi 
coach.
  It is my honor to recognize Coach Sammy Dantone Jr. on the floor of 
the House of Representatives for the many contributions he made to 
create a brighter future for our state and our nation, and I ask my 
colleagues in the House to join me in recognizing Coach Dantone for his 
service and commitment to Mississippi and to the United States of 
America.
