  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Deputy First Class 
Ruben Cardenas, a law enforcement officer who recently was recognized 
at the 25th Annual Awards for Excellence in Community Service and 
Public Safety Ceremony for his invaluable service and commitment to our 
community.

  DFC Cardenas first joined the Loudoun County Sheriff's Department in 
2014. He is currently assigned to the Patrol in the Field Operations 
Division. Last year, DFC Cardenas made 22 DUI arrests, 68 misdemeanor 
arrests, and 11 felony arrests. He selflessly executed these 101 
arrests with professionalism and courage in order to further protect 
the citizens of our community. I would like to thank him for the 
honorable service he provides my constituents day-in and day-out. His 
daily sacrifices and commitment to serving our region are commendable. 
Our community is safer thanks to the continued efforts of DFC Cardenas 
and his fellow law enforcement officers. His bravery, service, and 
commitment to Loudoun County have not gone unnoticed and will not be 
forgotten.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking and 
congratulating DFC Ruben Cardenas for his dedication to both Virginia's 
10th Congressional District and the Loudoun County Sheriff's 
Department.
