             REMEMBERING DEVIN WILLOCK AND CHANDLER LeCROY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Carter) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
tragic passing of Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy of the University 
of Georgia. Following the Georgia football national championship 
parade, Devin and Chandler were in a tragic accident that claimed their 
lives.
  Devin played offensive line for the Bulldogs and was a key part of 
their national championship run this past season. Devin will be 
remembered by all as a kind soul that loved his family, the game of 
football, and his teammates.
  Chandler graduated from the University of Georgia in 2020 with a 
master's degree and then went on to work as a recruiting analyst for 
the Bulldogs. Members of the Georgia football staff spoke about her 
passion for Georgia athletics and how she always went above and beyond 
in her work. Her warm spirit and love for her beloved Bulldogs will be 
remembered by all.
  I know that I speak for the entire First District, for the State of 
Georgia, and for the Bulldog Nation when I say that we will miss Devin 
and Chandler, but I know that their legacy will live on.


                    Recognizing Hinesville, Georgia

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Hinesville, Georgia, for being a great place to live, work, and raise a 
family.
  Recently, Hinesville was erroneously named as one of the most 
miserable places to live in all of the State of Georgia. Nothing could 
be further from the truth. In fact, Hinesville is not only one of the 
best cities in the First District of Georgia, but it is arguably one of 
the best cities in all of the State.
  Hinesville is one of the fastest growing cities in all of southeast 
Georgia. It is home to Fort Stewart and the 3rd Infantry Division, the 
largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River.
  Across the city, Spanish moss gracefully drapes from the magnificent 
oak trees. There is a farmers market every Thursday and countless 
festivals throughout the year.
  Hinesville is a wonderful community, full of southern hospitality and 
a relaxed way of life. The only thing miserable about this city are the 
attitudes of people who won't give it a fair shake. I am proud of 
Hinesville. It is a great city.


                      Honoring Coach Paul Johnson

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
legendary college football coach Paul Johnson for his induction into 
the College Football Hall of Fame.
  Utilizing his patented spread offense, Johnson compiled a career 
record of 189-99 in 22 seasons. In 11 seasons at Georgia Tech, he had a 
record of 82-60. His 82 wins are fourth-most in Tech history.
  Johnson is responsible for two 10-win seasons and one 11-win season 
at Tech. He led the Jackets to nine bowl appearances and three Atlantic 
Coast Conference Championship games. Johnson received ACC Coach of the 
Year honors three times in his career and National Coach of the Year 
honors twice.
  When he stepped down at Tech at the end of the 2018 season, his 189 
career victories ranked fourth among NCAA Division I FBS head coaches.
  While I may be a Georgia Bulldog, I want to congratulate Coach 
Johnson for his legendary career and his induction into the College 
Football Hall of Fame.


                        Recognizing Olympia Cafe

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Olympia 
Cafe located in Savannah, Georgia.
  The Olympia Cafe has been ranked in the top 10 percent of restaurants 
worldwide by a popular online travel company. Owner Nick Pappas started 
the restaurant in Savannah over 30 years ago. Before opening in the 
city, he had been told numerous times that Savannah was not the best 
place to open a cafe. However, those people were wrong. Pappas has 
found the perfect location.
  Olympia Cafe regularly hosts famous movie celebrities and worldwide 
travelers. He is proud of the restaurant's award because it relies on 
customer reviews, which reflects the cafe's hard work.
  I would like to congratulate Pappas and everyone at the Olympia Cafe 
for winning this wonderful award.
