                        RECOGNIZING RICKY PARKS

  (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, Ricky Parks of Rocky Mount 
is a true servant whose life has been defined by duty, courage, and 
selfless service.
  Ricky was honored with a special quilt, ``A Thin Blue Line,'' from 
the Tar River Peacemakers Quilting Guild, honoring his service to the 
community, eastern North Carolina, and our State.
  He was also instrumental in helping to start the Ride of Honor in 
Nash County, which honors our veterans.
  For more than 37 years, Ricky has served in law enforcement, mostly 
on patrol. His commitment to public service continued when he was 
appointed marshal of the North Carolina Supreme Court.
  Through every chapter of his life, Ricky has answered the call to 
serve.
  I thank Ricky and his wife, Rebecca, for a lifetime of service, and I 
congratulate them on being great Americans.
