“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in sadness to honor the life and bravery of one of Arkansas' finest citizens, Ronald Jason Adams. On Friday, January 22, Mr. Adams, a lieutenant at the Sherwood Fire Department with 5 years of experience, was shot and killed while responding to an emergency medical call in North Little Rock, Arkansas. He was just 29 years old. I was honored to attend a flashlight vigil for Jason on January 25 and was moved by the turnout from our entire community to honor his life. Every time we lose one of our first responders, our community experiences a little fray or tear in our beautifully crafted quilt of our towns. Our first responders in Arkansas and throughout the country deserve our gratitude and our respect. Lieutenant Adams' death is a tragic reminder of the dangers these brave men and women face every day. I extend my warmest regards and prayers to his loved ones. He will be greatly missed. ____________________”
