RECOGNIZING RICKY PARKS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026)] [House] [Page H5615] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] 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. ____________________
