IN RECOGNITION OF CAPTAIN PATRICK LYNN PATTY AS THE ROBERT JACKSON EURY 
                        MEMORIAL AWARD RECIPIENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 2017

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kannapolis Police 
Captain Patrick Lynn Patty for receiving the Robert Jackson Eury 
Memorial Award.
  A native of North Carolina, Captain Patty has served with the 
Kannapolis Police Department in North Carolina's 8th Congressional 
District since 1994. Throughout his career, Captain Patty has served as 
a Patrol Officer, Field Trainer, Patrol Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant, 
Field Operation Bureau Captain and now commands the Support Services 
Bureau. Captain Patty's outstanding leadership and commitment in these 
roles for the Kannapolis Police Department made him stand out in our 
community. Additionally, Captain Patty put his life on the line for our 
nation, serving four years as an Airborne Infantry Officer in the 82nd 
Airborne Division of the US Army.
  This award is presented in memory of Robert Jackson Eury, a man who 
lost his life in line of duty while serving as a Carbarrus County law 
enforcement officer. This award keeps Mr. Eury's legacy alive through 
officers who share his same admirable and commendable spirit in 
Cabarrus County. Based on his career of service, I would say Captain 
Patty fits the mold of esteemed law enforcement officers in our 
community set by Robert Eury.
  There is no doubt in my mind that Captain Patty will continue his 
outstanding leadership and maintain his unwavering values while 
protecting the people of Cabarrus County. I am excited to see what the 
future holds for such a dedicated officer.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in congratulating Captain Patrick 
Patty as the Robert Jackson Eury Memorial Award recipient and wish him 
well as he continues to make a positive difference in the lives of 
others.
