        HONORING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF OFFICER ASHLEY GUINDON

  (Mr. WITTMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service 
of Officer Ashley Guindon.
  Officer Guindon was killed in the line of duty Saturday while 
responding to a call for help from a domestic violence victim.
  She was 28 years old, and during her short life, Officer Guindon had 
done more for others than most of us will ever do. She spent 6 years in 
the Marine Corps Reserves before interning and ultimately working with 
the Prince William County Police Department.
  At funeral services Tuesday, Officer Guindon was remembered as a 
policewoman and as a peace officer.
  In Prince William County, the Police Department's stated mission is 
to ``enhance the quality of life by providing police services through 
shared responsibility with the public.''
  As members of the public, it is incumbent upon us to respect the work 
that police officers do, the sacrifices that they make, and the lives 
that they touch across the Commonwealth and the United States of 
America.
  God rest you and keep your family, Officer Guindon. Thank you for 
your service.
