                    HONORING PATROLMAN ZACHARY FINK

  (Mr. MAST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, the Treasure Coast lost a hero this year when 
Florida Highway Patrolman Zachary Fink was killed in the line of duty. 
He was a son of St. Lucie County, Florida.
  Trooper Fink had a desire from an early age to help people, and that 
is what led him to a career in law enforcement.
  I did know Trooper Fink. I didn't know him well, but I did know him. 
I recognized that he was willing to lay his life on the line to protect 
me and every other member of our community.
  We all have people in our lives that we would sacrifice anything to 
protect, our siblings, our children, our spouses, but very few of us 
would lay down our life for somebody that we barely know. Law 
enforcement officers like Trooper Fink do just that every single day.
  I have introduced legislation to name the U.S. Post Office building 
at 290 NW Peacock Boulevard in Port St. Lucie after Trooper Zachary 
Fink.
  I would simply say this: We cannot repay his sacrifice in any 
measure, but we can always remember his sacrifice.
