 RECOGNIZING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF DEPUTY SHERIFF BRADLEY J. RECKLING

  (Mrs. McCLAIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to 
recognize the life and service of Deputy Sheriff Bradley J. Reckling.
  Deputy Reckling served faithfully for 9 years with the Oakland County 
Sheriff's Office. He was from Michigan's Ninth District.
  Sadly, Deputy Reckling was killed in the line of duty on June 22, 
2024. He was only 29 years old. When he was killed, he was a proud 
husband and father to three beautiful daughters, with a fourth one on 
the way.
  As we mark National Police Week, we pause to honor the courage of 
those who wear the badge, the ones who run toward danger, and far too 
often those who pay the ultimate sacrifice like Deputy Reckling.
  Every day, brave men and women put on their uniform and go to work 
and they know they may not come home. We owe these people a lot more 
than just a thank you. We owe them respect, admiration, and our 
unwavering support.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to do the same and to honor 
the life of Deputy Sheriff Brad Reckling. May we always appreciate the 
men and women in blue.
