                         DEPUTY STEVEN SANDBERG

  (Mr. NOLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NOLAN. Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, Minnesota suffered a 
terrible tragedy when we lost Deputy Sheriff Steven Sandberg of Aitkin, 
Minnesota, in the line of duty last weekend.
  Deputy Sandberg, a 20-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office, was loved 
and cherished by his family, by all who knew him, and by the entire 
region.
  His daughter, Cassie, recently said, ``I want everyone to know that 
my dad was so proud to do his job and to serve the entire community.''
  Cassie, we want you to know that we are proud, too. We are proud to 
have had your dad's great service in our community. His bravery and his 
service will never be forgotten.
  Today I ask my colleagues to please keep his wife, Kristi, and his 
daughter, Cassie, in their thoughts and in their prayers.
  Please remember to thank and to honor all of the law enforcement 
officers who put themselves in harm's way every day to keep us safe.
