                     HONORING OFFICER JACOB DERBIN

  (Mr. MILLER of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart to 
recognize the service of Officer Jacob Derbin and to celebrate his 
life.
  While responding to a disturbance, Officer Derbin gave the ultimate 
sacrifice when he was ambushed and killed in the line of duty last 
Sunday.
  Mr. Speaker, from Brooklyn Heights, Jacob had joined the Euclid 
Police Department less than a year ago after serving in the Army 
National Guard. He protected his family, his country, his community.
  Officer Derbin's fellow officers will remember him as an incredible 
person with a great heart and an incredible smile.
  I echo Ohio Attorney General Yost in saying: ``It is a cruel irony 
that a mother lost her son on Mother's Day and that this murder 
happened just as we prepare to solemnize our fallen during Police 
Memorial Week.''
  I am grateful for the service of our law enforcement officers, who 
have put their lives on the line every single day to protect us. My 
deepest condolences go to the family, friends, and fiancee of Officer 
Derbin and to the Euclid Police Department.

  God bless Euclid. God bless Ohio.
