REMEMBERING U.S. CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER WILLIAM EVANS
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the
life and legacy of U.S. Capitol Police Officer William Evans.
This week, we pay our respects to Officer Evans' life of service as
he was remembered with a congressional tribute and lying in honor in
the United States Capitol rotunda.
Officer Evans was a beloved father, husband, brother, son, and
friend.
He was a dedicated officer, joining the U.S. Capitol Police on March
7, 2003, and servicing for 18 years. In addition to patrolling the
north barricade, Officer Evans was a member of the Capitol Division's
First Responder's Unit.
Officer Evans was a member of our Capitol family, and I want to send
my heartfelt condolences to the Evans family for their loss.
Mr. Speaker, let's take this time to remember Officer Evans and to
thank each and every member of U.S. Capitol Police and National Guard
members here on the Capitol Grounds for their continued service to keep
us safe.
