                 HONORING THE LIFE OF OFFICER SONNY KIM

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, last week, Cincinnati lost a hero in blue. 
A 27-year veteran of the Cincinnati Police Department, Officer Sonny 
Kim lived a life of service to his family, his department, and his 
city.
  We mourn for a life cut short while serving in the line of duty. 
Officer Kim is remembered as a model police officer, husband, and 
father, an officer with 22 commendations during his decorated career. 
His lasting memory stands as a testament to the best of our community 
and society.
  Mr. Speaker, police officers deal with people every day, usually 
people at their very worst, and they do so selflessly and tirelessly, 
but we must never take that service for granted.
  We mourn with Officer Kim's wife, his sons, and his sisters and 
brothers who served alongside him.
  Rest in peace, Officer Kim. Your good deeds will not be forgotten.
