                     CELEBRATING OFFICER MORGAN DAY

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
accomplishments of Morgan Steward, a 5-year-old boy from Covington, 
Georgia.
  Morgan was born with a genetic condition that affects his muscle 
movement and confines him to a wheelchair. However, Morgan's physical 
limitations have in no way hindered his goal of becoming a police 
officer.
  When the Covington Georgia Police Department heard of Morgan's 
dreams, they sprang into action, swearing him in as a police officer. 
And on December 17, 2013, the town of Covington celebrated Officer 
Morgan Day, and Morgan Steward was cheered on as he fought crime and 
captured the ``bad guys'' during Covington's annual Christmas parade. 
Morgan even teamed up with basketball star Shaquille O'Neal to rescue a 
cat from a tree.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, I commend Officer Morgan for 
his service as a police officer, and thank him for the strong example 
that he sets for all those who face medical and physical hardships.
