HONORING STAFF SERGEANT JESSE SHERRILL
(Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the life and
service of New Hampshire State Police Staff Sergeant Jesse Sherrill.
Staff Sergeant Sherrill was tragically killed on October 28 when his
cruiser was struck by a tractor-trailer when he was on duty working an
overnight detail.
This is an immeasurable loss for his family and community and the
entire State of New Hampshire.
Today, our State will pause for a celebration of life for Staff
Sergeant Sherrill. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and their
children and extended family. We must never forget his dedicated
service to keeping our State safe and the burden borne by the Sherrill
family.
My thoughts are also with the men and women of the New Hampshire
State Police and law enforcement community that has lost one of its
own.
Day in and day out, those who serve and protect our communities risk
their own safety for all of us. We can never forget their sacrifice.
I urge Granite Staters to take time to reflect on the legacy of Staff
Sergeant Sherrill and to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Through this horrible tragedy, we must honor his example and keep his
memory alive.
