    MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR FALLEN GILCHRIST LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

  (Mr. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of two fallen 
heroes back home in Florida: Gilchrist County Sergeant Noel Ramirez and 
Deputy Taylor Lindsey. These two officers were tragically murdered in 
the line of duty during an ambush shooting on April 19.
  Mr. Speaker, these two young men were selfless heroes, patriots, and 
everything we aspire to be as people, as a Nation, and as Americans.
  Sergeant Ramirez had been in law enforcement for 7 years and leaves 
behind two young children and a wife. He had, as Sheriff Bobby Schultz 
described it, an infectious smile. Deputy Lindsey joined the Gilchrist 
County Sheriff's Office in 2013, and dedicated his time and efforts 
towards getting illegal drugs off our streets.
  Please join me and the Florida delegation in honoring Gilchrist 
County Sergeant Noel Ramirez and Deputy Taylor Lindsey and all of our 
fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our 
safety.
  At this time, Mr. Speaker, I ask that the House hold a moment of 
silence.
