Bill > HRes624

This resolution honors Anderson "Chase" Childers, a 38-year-old former Cobb County, Georgia police officer who heroically died while saving a family of five from a dangerous rip current near Pawleys Island, South Carolina on July 13, 2025. The resolution formally recognizes Childers' extraordinary courage in rescuing the family, despite ultimately losing his own life when the rip current overwhelmed him, and highlights his distinguished career in law enforcement where he had previously received a lifetime achievement award for saving lives. The House of Representatives officially honors Childers' sacrifice, offers condolences to his wife Nataley and three children, commends the first responders involved in recovery efforts, raises awareness about the dangers of rip currents, and celebrates Childers' legacy of selfless public service. By passing this resolution, the House aims to recognize Childers as an exemplary hero who embodied values of duty, honor, and personal sacrifice, and to inspire recognition of individuals who risk their lives to help others.
