             IN HONOR OF HOOSIER HERO, OFFICER ROD BRADWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANDRE CARSON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 23, 2013

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart, as I 
grieve with the City of Indianapolis and the entire law enforcement 
community. Last Friday, we lost a man of valor.
  While responding to a domestic call, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police 
Department Officer Rod Bradway was tragically killed. When Officer 
Bradway heard a desperate cry for help, he acted without hesitation or 
fear to save a life, and in so doing, he sacrificed his own.
  Confronting danger to protect all of us was nothing new for Officer 
Bradway, who had already received the department's Medal of Bravery and 
who also served as a firefighter and EMT. We should all aspire to 
Officer Bradway's level of courage and heroism.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in extending prayers to Officer 
Bradway's wife and family and ask that they honor his life by 
remembering to always uplift their local law enforcement officers and 
give gratitude for their sacrifices.
