                    HONORING THE LIFE OF NICK WINUM

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Stanley 
Police Officer Nick Winum, who was tragically killed in the line of 
duty this weekend.
  Originally a successful tomato farmer on the Eastern Shore, Officer 
Winum followed his calling to serve others and joined the Virginia 
State Police. After working for more than a decade as a State trooper, 
Officer Winum transitioned into the Stanley Police Department in 2016, 
where he served until his passing.
  For the last 15 years of his life, he put the well-being of his 
neighbors above his own, and our community is forever grateful for the 
sacrifice he made while keeping our streets safe.
  Officer Winum is survived by the love of his life, his wife, Cara; 
his children, Jedediah, Aubrey, Jackson, and Nicki; his granddaughter, 
Willa; as well as his parents, siblings, and 24 nieces and nephews.
  He is remembered as a man of honor and principle who loved the Lord, 
his family, and his country.
  To honor this patriot, those who knew him will continue to carry on 
his legacy of kindness, compassion, and service to others. I join his 
law enforcement colleagues in mourning his passing and extend my 
deepest condolences to his family.
