           HONORING THE LIFE OF OFFICER JARED WILLIAM FRANKS

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, it has been said, ``The bravest are surely 
those who have the clearest vision of

what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, 
go out to meet it.''
  These words embodied the life of Officer Jared William Franks of the 
Greensboro Police Department. Officer Franks was killed in the line of 
duty after bravely engaging in the pursuit of a suspect.
  Only 24 years old, Officer Franks dedicated his life to public 
service and creating a safer community for us all. He is the first 
Greensboro officer to die in the line of duty in 17 years, reminding us 
of the bravery and strength members of law enforcement show our 
communities every single day.
  We must never forget and always be thankful for their courage and 
dedication. Please keep his family; his dad, Officer Captain Franks; 
and fellow officers in your prayers as we remember Officer Franks' life 
and legacy.
