“Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Carroll E. ``Ed'' Hawn, Jr., a veteran, a hardworking member of his community, and someone who will be deeply missed. Ed proudly served our country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, and his service was something he carried with him throughout his life. After returning home, Ed built a long career at Perdue Farms, where he worked his way up to become Shipping Superintendent before his well- deserved retirement. Outside of work, he enjoyed the simple things in life. He especially loved hobbies like model trains, quilting, and machine embroidery. He leaves behind his loving wife, Linda, their three children, and an extended family and community who will miss him dearly. Bronwen and I extend our prayers to them as they grieve his passing. On behalf of South Carolina's 7th District, I express my deepest condolences and thank Ed and his family for his service to our country. ____________________”

“Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the opening of the Purdy Welcome Center and Conservatory Gardens at Brookgreen Gardens, a National Historic Landmark in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. This is the largest capital project at Brookgreen in the last thirty years. It will welcome visitors from around the world with a conservatory of living plant displays, including an expansive orchid collection, sculpture made from plant materials, and a wetland garden and trail that teaches best environmental practices. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Brookgreen Gardens on this milestone and in celebrating the cultural, educational, and tourism benefits it will bring to our state. ____________________”

“Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Izzy Soto and her teammates on the United States National Development Team for winning a gold medal at the 2025 Pan American Inline Hockey Championships in Oaxtepec, Morelos, Mexico. Representing our Nation with pride and determination, the team demonstrated remarkable resilience by winning four consecutive games to capture the championship title. I am especially proud to note that Izzy is from Myrtle Beach and was the only member of the Women's Junior Team from South Carolina, making her achievement even more meaningful for our state and the Grand Strand community. Their accomplishment reflects the best of American spirit, teamwork, and perseverance. Competing at this level not only showcased their skill but also provided invaluable experience playing alongside and against some of the best athletes in the world. I commend Izzy, her teammates, and their coaches for their dedication and sportsmanship, and I extend my best wishes to all those continuing to compete in future tournaments. Their success brings great pride to the United States and serves as an inspiration to young athletes everywhere. ____________________”
