    REMEMBERING AITKIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S INVESTIGATOR STEVEN SANDBERG

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor 
Aitkin County Sheriff's Investigator Steven Sandberg, who was killed in 
the line of duty last week.
  Investigator Sandberg was deeply respected by his community and was 
somebody who was always handling the county's toughest cases, which 
meant putting himself in harm's way.
  Those who knew Steven knew that he was a dedicated family man and a 
committed parent, not missing a single one of his daughter's basketball 
games.
  He was also a shining light for his entire community. He was a former 
three-sport athlete at Aitkin High School. He served as a volunteer 
firefighter for 17 years, and he taught Sunday school at the local 
Methodist church.
  Mr. Speaker, Steven Sandberg dedicated his life to serving others and 
keeping people safe. We honor his sacrifice. My thoughts are with his 
wife, Kristi, and with his daughter, Cassie, as well as with the entire 
community in Aitkin County.
