                       Monday, November 17, 2025

  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service 
of Eric McArthur, a police officer, veteran, and most importantly, a 
father and husband. Serving as a police officer for the city of Saint 
Paul for over nine years, Eric courageously worked in the K-9 unit at 
the side of his K-9 companion, Finn. His commitment to service was 
demonstrated not only by his dedication to his job but also through the 
support and strength he showed his colleagues by participating in the 
department's Honor Guard and Peer Support Team.
  His dedication to his country didn't stop there. Eric was also a 
member of the Army National Guard, serving three tours overseas and 
honorably receiving the Bronze Star for his service. His years in the 
military forged lifelong friendships through valor and sacrifice. It 
was Eric's honor to serve his country and community.
  Above all, Eric's family was his pride and joy. He was a loving 
husband to his wife of 18 years, Shanna, and a committed father to his 
two kids, Caleb and Lila. His presence was evident in all their lives, 
and his compassion, love, and steadfastness will be deeply missed by 
them. A leader of his community in the fullest sense and a dedicated 
father and husband, Eric will truly be missed by all the lives he 
touched--colleagues, friends, and family alike. May Eric rest in peace.
