“I am honoring the annual memorial golf tournament held in Georgia for retired police officer William Kelly, who died of cancer from his service at Ground Zero after September 11. This year, the event also honored fallen police officer Dustin Krish.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the fifth annual Tunnel to Towers William ``Billy’’ Kelly Memorial Golf Classic held this morning in Peachtree City, Georgia, in remembrance of the Americans who lost their lives from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Two years ago, I was honored to attend this charity tournament alongside my dear friend, Nancy Holland, a beloved leader in our community. Nancy introduced me to Robyn Walensky, a former news reporter and survivor of September 11, who founded this tournament with her husband, Greg, in memory of retired NYPD Officer William ``Billy’’ Kelly. Officer Kelly deployed to Ground Zero and was assigned to the forensics unit responsible for sifting through debris from the World Trade Center to help bring closure to families who lost loved ones. As a result of his tireless service with the NYPD, Officer Kelly was sadly diagnosed with, and passed away from, a September 11-related cancer. This morning, the tournament named for Officer Kelly honored the memory and family of fallen Carrollton Police Officer Dustin Krish, whose watch ended on June 9, 2026. May the memories of heroes like Officer Kelly and Officer Krish inspire generations of Americans to come. Celebrating Birthday of Harvey Wortham, Coweta County’s Oldest Veteran”
