                          COAST GUARD MARATHON

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the energy was extremely 
high at the annual U.S. Coast Guard marathon with around 2,000 
dedicated runners and chair athletes in Elizabeth City. The streets 
were filled with excitement and determination.
  It was an honor to celebrate the vital bond between our U.S. Coast 
Guard and the Elizabeth City community, recognizing the sacrifices of 
our Active Duty personnel, resilient civilians, dedicated volunteers, 
and the incredible Coast Guard Foundation.
  Before ringing the bell, we paid special tribute to the selfless 
service of individuals like Petty Officer Tyler Jaggers who made the 
ultimate sacrifice for our country.
  I extend my deepest gratitude to the commandant for ensuring this 
year's marathon took place. It was so uplifting, and it provided 
everyone in the community with the boost we all needed and strengthened 
our sense of unity.
