               HONORING THE LIFE OF NOAH JACOB SHAHNAVAZ

  (Mrs. SPARTZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SPARTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service 
of Noah Jacob Shahnavaz, an Indiana police officer who was killed in 
the line of duty last year. Noah would have turned 25 today.
  Noah was born in Indianapolis to Matt and Laurie Shahnavaz. After 
graduating from Fishers High School, he enlisted in the Army where he 
served as a sergeant and was awarded the distinguished Air Assault 
Badge. He was deployed to the Middle East and two border missions.
  Following his honorable discharge, Noah answered the call to service 
once again and joined the Elwood Police Department in August of 2021.
  On behalf of Indiana's Fifth Congressional District and our Nation, I 
share my deepest appreciation and gratitude for Noah's service to our 
Republic.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask for a moment of silence to remember Noah and the 
heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. You will not 
be forgotten.
