註釋
Growing up on a farm in rural Georgia, I never dreamed I would one day be testifying before the U.S. Senate encouraging the creation of Homeland Security. Along the way I was fortunate to help my Dad in his mission to eradicate moonshine in our county and then follow in his footsteps when I was elected the youngest sheriff in the state upon his death. During my years as sheriff I handled numerous murders that gained international attention and even believe to have had an encounter with Patty Hearst during her time with the Symbionese Liberation Army.Leaving the office of sheriff, I led the Georgia Emergency Management Agency during numerous major natural disasters, oversaw the State of Georgia's involvement in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and directed the cleanup of a crematory malpractice.I've had the opportunity to meet with American Presidents, state leaders, and international officials on the issues of terrorism and disasters - natural and manmade. The funny, the sad, and the proud moments of my career have given me a great appreciation for the people around me.
