HONORING OFFICER JORDAN HARRIS SHELDON
(Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Officer
Jordan Harris Sheldon. He was killed in the line of duty during a
routine traffic stop recently. Mr. Sheldon honorably served the
Mooresville Police Department for 6 years as a K-9 officer.
I know that the Mooresville Police Department and the community are
heartbroken by this news, as am I. Our men and women in blue put on the
uniform every day not knowing what their fate could be, yet they
continue to serve their communities without question.
Madam Speaker, I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to
represent a place like Mooresville in the U.S. Congress, and I know
that I speak for the good folks of Mooresville when I say that Officer
Sheldon will not be forgotten.
I ask Members to join me in praying for Officer Sheldon's family, the
Mooresville Police Department, and the community during this difficult
time.
