           HONORING THE MEMORY OF TWO NEVADA POLICE OFFICERS

  (Ms. ROSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ROSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of two 
Nevada police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in 2017: 
Detective Chad William Parque of the North Las Vegas Police Department, 
and Officer Charleston Vernon Hartfield of the Las Vegas Metropolitan 
Police Department.
  Detective Parque was a 10-year veteran of the force. He was a loving 
husband and father, a selfless member of our community, and a dedicated 
investigator. His warmth and his passion left a mark on all who had the 
privilege of knowing him.
  Officer Hartfield was a victim of the horrific 1 October tragedy. He 
was a husband and a father, an Army veteran, a first sergeant in the 
Nevada Army National Guard, the author of a memoir, and a youth 
football coach. Officer Hartfield had an unwavering dedication to his 
community. I attended the candlelight vigil in his memory shortly after 
his death, and I saw firsthand how many lives he touched.
  Detective Parque and Officer Hartfield were taken from us far too 
soon. Their profound sense of duty and service will live on as an 
example for all of us. May their memories be a blessing.
