Mr. Mast mr. Speaker, the Treasure Coast lost a hero this year when florida highway pa patrolman zachary pink was killed in the line of duty. He was the son of st. Lucie county, florida. He had a desire from an early age to help people. Thats what led him to a career in Law Enforcement. I did did know trooper fink, i didnt know him well but knew him. I recognized he was willing to lay down the life on the line to protect me and every other member of our community. We all have people in our lives we would sacrifice anything to protect. Our siblings, our children, spouses. But very few of us would lay down our life for somebody that we barely know. But Law Enforcement officers like trooper fink do just that every single day. Now, i have introduced legislation to name the u. S. Post Office Building at 290 northwest peacock boulevard in port st. Lucie after trooper zachary fink. I would simply say this, we cannot repay his sacrifice in any measure. But we can always remember his sacrifice. I yield back, mr. Speaker.

While the rhetoric of many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are further emboldening these criminals, House Republicans back the blue and have dedicated this week to considering legislation that highlights our continued support for Law Enforcement heroes nationwide. Id also be remiss if i didnt take a moment to honor those who have been tragically lost in the line of duty. The scriptures tell us the greatest love is to offer ones life up for others. Our Law Enforcement put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. And for that we owe them a significant debt of gratitude. I am proud to stand with the brave men and women in blue.
