                 HONORING OHIO'S FALLEN POLICE OFFICERS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today during the solemn occasion of 
National Police Week to recognize the law enforcement officers across 
our Nation who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
  Every day, police officers across our Nation put on their badges and 
go into their communities to carry out their mission to protect and 
serve. Tragically, some do not return to their families at the end of 
the day.
  This year, the names of 619 officers have been added to the National 
Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., including four 
from Ohio.
  They are: Toledo Police Officer Brandon Stalker, Cleveland Police 
Officer Shane Bartek, Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Donald Gilreath, 
and Ohio Department of Natural Resources Officer Jason Lagore.
  Their legacies will live on in the hearts of all Americans and at the 
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial here in Washington, D.C. We 
are perpetually indebted to them for their service, courage, and 
patriotism. Today and always, let us honor their service, their 
memories, and hold their loved ones close in our heart and prayers.
