                     Honoring Christopher Ohlmeyer

  Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, I rise on a very sad occasion, 
recognizing Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Deputy Christopher 
Ohlmeyer, a motorcycle officer who was just killed in a traffic motor 
vehicle accident. His death will be felt by his family, his fellow 
officers, and our entire State.
  Christopher Ohlmeyer was a great officer, but he was more than the 
uniform he wore. He was a husband, a father, and a friend.
  The way that he died, though tragic, is a testament to the way he 
lived. Deputy Ohlmeyer was struck as he was serving as a motorcycle 
escort for a funeral procession and was hit by a car from behind. In 
his final moments, he was serving someone else.
  I am told that those who did not have a family were invited to be 
part of his; that he brought people together; that he was deeply 
committed to serving his community.
  May we pray for his family, remember his sacrifice, and strive to 
live our legacy and our lives in whatever way we can, as he did his.
  With gratitude for Deputy Ohlmeyer's service and remembrance of his 
life, Mr. President, I ask that we pause for a moment to remember 
Deputy Ohlmeyer.
  (Moment of silence.)
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
