                 HONORING STAFF SERGEANT JESSE SHERRILL

  Ms. HASSAN. Mr. President, I join today with people across New 
Hampshire to pay tribute to and honor the life of Staff Sergeant Jesse 
Sherrill of the New Hampshire State Police. Sergeant Sherrill dedicated 
19 years to serving the people of the Granite State with the New 
Hampshire State Police, before he tragically lost his life while on 
duty on October 28, 2021.
  Raised in Barrington, NH, Sergeant Sherrill began his career in law 
enforcement with the Hooksett Police Department in 2001. In December 
2002, he was hired by the New Hampshire State Police, assigned to 
patrol in New Hampshire's North Country. He later worked with the 
Attorney General's Drug Task Force and was promoted to sergeant and 
then staff sergeant for Troop A, which serves Rockingham and Strafford 
Counties.
  Sergeant Sherrill excelled in each of his roles and was known for his 
incredible work ethic. He was a mentor to his fellow troopers and was 
revered for his leadership and his commitment to the success of his 
peers.
  Beyond his career, Sergeant Sherrill always put family first; his 
family was at the core of everything that he did. He was a loving and 
supportive husband to Nicole and an incredible father to Peyton and 
Quinn, transitioning from a pressure-packed day at work to a very 
present husband and father with surprising ease. Nicole's nickname for 
Jesse--``Superman''--reflected how much she, his family, and his 
colleagues respected and admired his ability to do so many things so 
well.
  Sergeant Sherrill was a Granite State hero. He represented the very 
best of New Hampshire's law enforcement community, serving valiantly to

keep our communities safe, while also going the extra mile to help his 
family and community with humility and kindness.
  Sergeant Sherrill made New Hampshire a better, safer place. I join 
Granite Staters in offering our deepest support and condolences to his 
family and to all those who knew him. Sergeant Sherrill is greatly 
missed, but his legacy is not and will not be forgotten.
