                       Tuesday, September 3, 2024

  Mr. HARRIS. Mr Speaker, two weeks ago I learned with great sadness 
about the passing of Sgt. Gordon F. Lee, a retired officer with the 
Easton Police Department who passed away on Monday, August 19, 2024, at 
the age of 46. During his time at the Easton Police Department, Sgt. 
Lee served with the K-9 unit, trained new officers and recruits as 
instructor and was a member of the department's SWAT Critical Response 
Unit. Before that, he honorably served with the U S. Marine Corps. Sgt. 
Lee retired from active duty with the Easton Police Department in 
February of 2024.
  Sgt. Lee dedicated his life to helping others, putting his own life 
on the line to protect and serve the community he so much loved. His 
determination and hard work made him an outstanding leader, an 
excellent teacher and invaluable friend and mentor to so many in the 
Maryland police community and beyond.
  I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Lee family and 
the entire Easton Police Department. The Eastern Shore is forever 
grateful for Sgt. Lee's commitment and dedication.
