                        Thursday, July 11, 2019

  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
late Richard H. Nettleton, who was senselessly murdered in the Virginia 
Beach Municipal Center shooting. Virginia Beach lost Richard far too 
soon.
  Richard worked as an engineer for the Department of Public Utilities 
for the City of Virginia Beach. For decades, Richard served Virginia 
Beach faithfully. Richard was well-known by all in his field and many 
of his colleagues admired and respected his work.
  Not only was he a public servant, but he also served overseas. 
Richard served in the United States Army in Germany. Friends described 
Richard as a dedicated worker and a leader. Richard's life of hard work 
and service to the community, as well as his selfless attitude, will 
forever be remembered.
  Richard will be missed by all his loved ones. Hampton Roads 
significantly benefited from his presence; he made our community a 
better place. Today we remember and honor his life.
