NATIONAL POLICE WEEK
(Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to
recognize National Police Week, as well as National Peace Officers
Memorial Day.
This week allows us to take the time to honor local, State, and
Federal officers who have died or have been disabled in the line of
duty. This week is an opportunity to pay tribute to the important men
and women who have served our country and put our lives in front of
their own.
In 2017, 129 officers made the ultimate sacrifice. Of that, one of
them lived in the 25th District of Texas that I represent.
Mr. Speaker, I would like everyone to know the name of Deputy Mark
Gregory Deibold of the Tarrant County Constable's Office, Precinct 5.
Mark's watch ended on Thursday, September 7, 2017. This hero served his
community, State, and country well, and he is more than deserving of
our praise and recognition.
Thank you for your service, Mark.
May God bless this hero's family.
God bless the United States of America.
In God We Trust.
