  Mr. O'HALLERAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Officer David Kellywood. Officer Kellywood was a White 
Mountain Apache Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty last 
month.
  David Kellywood grew up in the White Mountain Apache community in 
rural Arizona.
  He bravely protected and served his community for four years as a 
corrections officer, a detention officer, and then a police officer.

  He was dedicated and hardworking, and those who knew and loved him 
appreciated his bright sense of humor and kind heart.
  He gave the ultimate sacrifice at age 26 to protect the community he 
loved, and leaves behind two young sons.
  As a former law enforcement officer, I know firsthand the dangerous, 
ever-changing circumstances law enforcement officers face every day, 
and the stress their loved ones endure.
  My heart breaks for Officer Kellywood's wife and two sons.
  Pat and I are keeping Officer Kellywood's family, friends, and the 
entire White Mountain Apache community in our thoughts as we continue 
to mourn his passing.
