MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORING OFFICER JACOB DERBIN
(Ms. BROWN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. BROWN. Mr. Speaker, I rise with my colleagues from the Ohio
delegation to pay our respects to Euclid Police Officer Jacob Derbin.
On Saturday, while responding to a distress call, Officer Derbin was
ambushed and killed.
Like so many of our law enforcement officers in northeast Ohio and
across the country, Officer Derbin put himself at risk to protect
others. Even after he was shot, Officer Derbin was able to warn others,
likely saving other lives.
He was just 23 years old, a new officer who was engaged to be married
in July. He had so much ahead of him.
Officer Derbin's life was about service. He was a veteran who served
his country, and, tragically, he made the ultimate sacrifice for his
community.
We ask that God give strength to Officer Derbin's family, friends,
and loved ones.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all present in the Chamber to please rise for a
moment of silence in remembrance of Euclid, Ohio, Police Officer Jacob
Derbin.
