                HONORING LIFE OF THOMAS ``WALKER'' LEMAY

  (Mr. BRECHEEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRECHEEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Le Flore 
County Deputy Thomas ``Walker'' LeMay, who was shot and killed in the 
line of duty on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
  As we all know: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's 
life for one's friends. Walker's sacrifice while upholding his duty to 
protect the citizens of Le Flore County will be long remembered. My 
words can't fully convey our gratitude for the safety and comfort in 
our homes that these brave police officers provide.
  Believing in the Psalms 34 promise that the Lord is near to the 
brokenhearted, may Deputy LeMay's family, friends, and colleagues find 
the peace that surpasses understanding even in the midst of their 
grief.
