      REMEMBERING THE SERVICE AND SACRIFICE OF OFFICER COLLIN ROSE

  (Mr. KILDEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay respects and remember Officer 
Collin Rose, who was killed in the line of duty last week in Detroit 
while on patrol near Wayne State University.
  To the Rose family, including Collin's fiancee, Nikki, I am terribly 
sorry for your loss. At just 29 years old, Collin was taken from your 
family and this world far too soon. Our community, our State, and our 
country are all standing with you during this difficult time.
  His fellow officers described Collin as always being kindhearted and 
hardworking. One officer said that Collin always had an engaging smile 
and generous spirit. Another officer said that he was the hardest 
working person he had ever met.
  His grandfather, Clifford Rose, told a local news outlet that at the 
age of 8, Collin knew he wanted to be a police officer. As an officer 
at Wayne State, Collin was most passionate, though, about canines and 
training Clyde, his rottweiler, and Wolverine, a German shorthaired 
pointer. ``His passion was training those dogs,'' said one of his 
fellow officers.
  This is a terrible loss, and I ask all of my fellow Members of the 
House of Representatives present to join me in observing and honoring 
the memory of Collin Rose, his service, and his sacrifice.
