       MOMENT OF SILENCE IN HONOR OF CAMERON GIRVIN AND CHRISTOPHER REESE

      (Mrs. KIGGANS of Virginia asked and was given permission to address
    the House for 1 minute.)
      Mrs. KIGGANS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, tonight, the Virginia
    congressional delegation is gathered on the House floor to pay our
    respects to Virginia Beach Police Department Officers Cameron Girvin
    and Christopher Reese, who were killed in the line of duty in the early
    hours of Saturday, February 22.
      Tragically, our community lost two of our local heroes when a
    cowardly criminal gunned down two of Virginia Beach's finest during a
    routine traffic stop.
      Officer Chris Reese was just 30 years old, having served with both
    the Virginia Beach Police Department and the Virginia Beach Sheriff's
    Office for the last 6 years. He leaves behind a loving wife. He will be
    remembered for his loyalty to his loved ones and his passion for
    serving the residents of our city.
      Officer Cameron Girvin was just 25 years old and has served with the
    Virginia Beach Police Department since 2020. He leaves behind his wife
    and their unborn daughter, Paisley, who is due in the summer. He will
    be remembered for his contagious smile and love for his family.
      These brave young men were taken too soon and leave behind a grief-
    stricken and forever grateful community.
      The city of Virginia Beach, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the
    United States of America will forever be grateful to these officers who
    made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our community. Their families
    will always remain in our prayers.
      On behalf of myself, the Virginia congressional delegation, and the
    United States House of Representatives, I ask that the United States
    House of Representatives observe a moment of silence in their honor.
