HONORING OFFICERS WHO MADE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
(Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, this week honors law enforcement officers
who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities,
and it also recognizes the incredible contributions, hard work,
dedication, and loyalty of our law enforcement officers.
I rise to recognize the nine law enforcement officers who lost their
lives last year while serving Michigan: Stephen Splan, of Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan; Jonathan Parnell, of Wayne County; Waldis Johnson, of
Wayne County; William Darnell, of DeWitt Township; Caleb Starr, of the
Michigan State Police; our beloved Benny Napoleon, of Wayne County;
Bryant Searcy, of Wayne County; Dean Savard, of Wayne County; and
Donafay Collins, of Wayne County.
We also remember our beloved Collin Rose, who lost his life in 2016
to gun violence while serving at Wayne State. Our community rose up to
support his family. We honor his contributions.
My friend, Eddie Osmond, the owner of a Marathon gas station, used
pennies on the dollar as people were pumping their gas to raise $10,000
for this man's family.
That is part of what we are here to recognize, the contributions of
our law enforcement officers.
