Jason Wells of Pearland, Texas. On October 24, 2013 Officer

[[Page 2521]]

Wells was involved in a severe off-duty motorcycle accident. This 
accident left Officer Wells with several broken bones, and his left leg 
had to be amputated below the knee. Officer Wells is a single father to 
two young children, and previously protected our Nation honorably as a 
Marine.
  Officer Wells still has a long road to recovery ahead of him. I'm 
pleased to be part of a community that has rallied to support him by 
hosting benefits for this hero. The proceeds will help fund Officer 
Wells' rehabilitation and the prosthetic limb he needs to get back on 
patrol. Every day in communities across America, police officers risk 
their lives to keep us safe. On behalf of all residents of the Twenty-
Second Congressional District of Texas, I am honored to recognize 
Officer Wells. Our community is proud of Officer Wells for his service 
to protect Pearland, Texas and our nation. We wish him the best in his 
recovery.
