 HONORING CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG POLICE OFFICERS HARLAN PROCTOR, ASHLEY 
                         BROWN, AND SCOTT EVETT

  (Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Charlotte-
Mecklenburg Police Officers Harlan Proctor, Ashley Brown, and Scott 
Evett, three officers who serve and protect our community.
  In the aftermath of a recent tragic domestic violence homicide and 
arson, Officer Proctor was assigned to drive the victim's children to 
the police station and listened attentively as the children discussed 
losing everything, including an 8-year-old's favorite dress.
  Officers Proctor, Brown, and Evett thoughtfully contacted Target to 
track down that favorite dress and, with donations from these officers 
and Target, were able to provide clothes, toys, and gift cards to help 
the family recover in this distressing time.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in thanking Officers 
Proctor, Evett, and Brown for their humble act of service and to thank 
all of the brave and dedicated police officers across the United States 
who put their lives on the line to protect each and every one of us 
every day and still make time to perform thoughtful acts of kindness in 
our communities.
  May God bless them.
