HONORING FALLEN OFFICERS EMILY BREIDENBACH AND HUNTER SCHEEL
(Mr. TIFFANY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, on April 8, 2023, Officers Emily
Breidenbach and Hunter Scheel went on their final watch. They died at
the hands of a gunman who then proceeded to take his life.
They were young people who lived in northwestern Wisconsin. They were
relatively young in their service to the State of Wisconsin and to the
people of their local communities. They will be missed dearly, and it
is a tragedy that their lives were taken so young.
On behalf of all of the people of the Seventh Congressional District
in northern and western Wisconsin, I express my condolences and our
condolences. I had a chance to attend the funeral service for these two
officers last Saturday, and as tragic as this was, it was uplifting at
the same time because residents by the hundreds came to the funeral
service.
Then as I went on Highway 8 East in northern Wisconsin, hundreds of
people were along the roadside holding flags with their hands over
their hearts to recognize Officers Emily Breidenbach and Hunter Scheel.
Mr. Speaker, I thank Officers Emily Breidenbach and Hunter Scheel for
their service to our State and to our country, and I thank all of those
who wear a badge and for the service they provide for all of us in
America.
