                       Tuesday, December 20, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker. I rise today to honor Deputy 
Chief Timothy Belcher for his stellar and philanthropic contributions 
to the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project.
  Frederick Douglas once said, ``it is easier to build strong children 
than to repair broken men.'' I thank Deputy Chief Timothy Belcher so 
much for believing in our mission of interrupting the school to prison 
pipeline and to guiding our young boys along a cheerfully charted path 
and sending them to college. He is investing in the children of our 
community, and they will be the benefactors of his investment for 
generations to come. He will always be a part of us, and we will always 
be a part of him. I thank him for all that he does on behalf of our 
children.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Deputy Chief Timothy 
Belcher, a 2023 Role Model Wall Man with a generous philanthropic 
spirit, and I ask my colleagues from the 117th Congress to join me in 
honoring this special circle of brotherhood.

                          ____________________
