Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 624 is a congressional resolution honoring Anderson "Chase" Childers, a 38-year-old former Georgia police officer who died on July 13, 2025, after rescuing a family of five from a deadly rip current near Pawleys Island, South Carolina. After successfully saving all five swimmers, Childers exhausted himself in the effort and was swept away by the current, losing his life in the process. The resolution recognizes Childers' decades of service with the Cobb County Police Department, where he received a lifetime achievement award, and acknowledges his legacy as a dedicated public servant and father of three. Congress offers condolences to his family and commends the first responders involved in recovery efforts while calling for increased public education about the dangers of rip currents. This resolution does not involve any funding or require action beyond the House's formal recognition of Childers' heroism and sacrifice.
