        HONORING THE MEMORY OF THE LATE SERGEANT DARRELL CURLEY

  (Mr. GOSAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the memory of the 
late Sergeant Darrell Curley of the Navajo Police Department who, after 
26 years of dedicated service, lost his life in the line of duty on 
June 25, 2011.
  Sergeant Curley was killed in the line of fire responding to a call 
in his community, Kaibeto, where he lived with his wife, Pauline, and 
three children, Arielle, Bronte, and Derrick.
  Sergeant Curley was a dependable public servant and an outstanding 
family man whose smile is remembered warmly by those who knew him. He 
also was recently appointed to a position of leadership within his 
faith community, as second counselor in the Bishopric of the Church of 
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kaibeto.
  Sergeant Curley was a kind man who was always willing to do for 
others, dedicating his life to improving the safety and security of the 
people of the Navajo Reservation, where he was raised and lived his 
life.
  It is outstanding individuals like Sergeant Curley that have the 
experience and courage to serve and protect our communities, as well as 
put their lives in danger for the safety of others. My thoughts and 
prayers are with Sergeant Curley's family, the Navajo Nation, and the 
broader northern Arizona law enforcement community for such an 
outstanding individual.
