              REMEMBERING DEPUTY DOMINIQUE ``DOM'' CALATA

  (Ms. STRICKLAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STRICKLAND. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a member of the 
Washington State delegation to honor the service and sacrifice of 
Pierce County Sheriff's Deputy Dom Calata.
  He was killed in the line of duty after pursuing a man wanted for 
second-degree assault.
  I have been told that he had a tireless work ethic and was someone 
who went above and beyond in his commitment to our community and to our 
Nation.
  In addition to his role as a deputy, he was also in the National 
Guard and previously served in the U.S. Army.
  But his and his family's commitment to the community doesn't stop 
there. He was also an organ donor. It is just

one more way that he and his family have stepped up to support others 
in need.
  Dom is nothing short of a hero. His loss is a devastating blow to our 
community, and I am thinking of and praying for the Pierce County 
Sheriff's Office and Dom's family, friends, and loved ones.
  I hope all of us in this House will take a moment to remember Deputy 
Calata and his contributions to our community and to our Nation.
