                        Tuesday, April 29, 2008

  Mr. WALSH of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sgt. 
Kevin Hall of the Webster Police Department and the Police Unity Tour.
  On May 9, 2008, Sgt. Hall will begin a trek to Washington, DC, 
consisting of 300 miles. He will stop in Liberty Park, New Jersey where 
he will join about 1,000 officers and continue to our Nation's capitol. 
The tour will finish in Washington, DC where groups from the north, 
south and west will converge. On Monday, May 12, the contingent of 
officers will bicycle to the National Law Enforcement Memorial, to 
honor all officers who died in the line of duty. This bicycle tour also 
marks the start of Law Enforcement Week.
  Sgt. Kevin Hall has always strived to cheerfully serve and protect 
his fellow citizens and I am proud to recognize him today. I 
congratulate Sgt. Hall on joining this important group and I wish him 
the best in his training and journey. On behalf of the people of the 
25th District of New York, I thank Officer Hall for his dedicated 
service that has been a strong pillar in the community.
