  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career and 
service of retiring Marinette County Sheriff, Jerry Sauve.
  Throughout his nearly 40 years in law enforcement, Sheriff Sauve has 
committed his

career to serving and protecting the people of Marinette County and 
Northeast Wisconsin. In 1984, Sheriff Sauve began his career as a 
Deputy at the Marinette County Sheriff's Office and gained numerous 
experiences that helped him throughout his 12 years as Sheriff. Over 
the years, Sheriff Sauve was able to witness the incredible evolution 
and growth in the Sheriff's Office, specifically in DNA matching 
technology that resulted in the resolution of a 40-year-old unsolved 
double homicide case. I commend Sheriff Sauve for his years of selfless 
service and commitment to Marinette County.
  During his nearly 40 years in law enforcement, Sheriff Sauve has 
proven himself to be a true leader in the County. Sheriff Sauve has 
taken part in the law enforcement response to many of the most 
remembered cases that Marinette County has witnessed. Sheriff Sauve is 
leaving behind a notable legacy that will be admired by generations of 
officers for years to come. After retirement, Sheriff Sauve plans to 
spend time with his grandchildren and will enjoy hunting and fishing at 
his cabin, and I am confident that he will continue to benefit the 
Northeast Wisconsin community.
  Mr. Speaker, today the people of Northeast Wisconsin thank Sheriff 
Jerry Sauve for his extraordinary devotion to his community. Sheriff 
Sauve's dedication and selfless service to Marinette County is 
deserving of the highest degree of recognition and honor. I wish 
Sheriff Sauve and his family all the best in retirement.
