            HONORING HEROIC BRANTLEY COUNTY FIRST RESPONDERS

  (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 to recognize and 
honor the heroic Brantley County first responders.
  In early January, there were several drug overdoses on the west end 
of the county. Thanks to the hard work and expertise of the Brantley 
County paramedics, EMTs, deputies, dispatchers, and many others, 
multiple people were saved.
  To honor them for their outstanding work, I will name everyone 
involved:
  Brantley EMS: Chad Hester, Dale Jewell, Kim Carter, and David 
Farrior.
  Brantley County 911 operator Devinee Cady.
  Brantley County deputies Vanessa Wilson and Christopher Edgerton.
  Lastly, Deputy Ralph McCormick and Detention Officer James Leston 
Jacobs.
  Because of the heroic acts of this selfless group, many lives have 
been saved.
  They all deserve a hero's welcome and celebration. On behalf of 
myself, the First Congressional District of Georgia, and the Nation, 
thank you for your service.
