I rise to share with the Senate the efforts of Corporal Thomas Roberts and Patrolman Bryan Verkler, of the Mishawaka Police Department, Mishawaka, IN, who gave their lives in the line of duty on December 13, 2003. Corporal Roberts was a 14-year veteran of the force. Patrolman Verkler had completed nearly 22 years of service. Both men are survived by their families. At this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with these men and their families.
