                     REMEMBERING RAMSES O. AGUINAGA

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, today I rise to remember the life of Santa 
Ana Police Officer Ramses Aguinaga, who was tragically taken from his 
family by cancer. Ramses was a leader in the community where he grew 
up. He was a smart and caring person who always made an effort to 
understand each and every individual in his community.
  In high school, he played football for Mater Dei High School where he 
was a key player in making sure that Mater Dei won the Southern Section 
Division championship.
  In college, Ramses became interested in criminal justice and spent 16 
years as a police officer. But his greatest accomplishment was the 
birth of his son, Mateus Aguinaga, and Ramses loved this child, loved 
him to death.
  Ramses passed away in peace. His family mourns him and will never 
forget how he brightened the lives of so many of his friends and 
neighbors where he grew up. He was a loving father, a thoughtful son, a 
caring brother, and a role model for our community.
