                          Honoring Drew Hanson

  Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, Scripture says that ``greater love has no 
one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.''
  Deputy U.S. Marshal Drew Hanson was a member of the Western District 
of Louisiana's Fugitive Task Force.
  More importantly, he was a husband, a father, and tragically he was 
shot and killed while arresting a man on sexual battery charges. Deputy 
Hanson displayed the greatest love; love for his country, love for 
justice, love for others.
  The man who murdered him took his life, yes. But no criminal, no 
weapon can take a man's honor, courage, or legacy.
  Mr. President, I ask for a moment of silence for Drew's family, for 
his friends, for his community, as we know they are grieving 
tremendously.
  (Moment of silence.)
