Madam Speaker, last week, tragedy struck the South Lyon community in Oakland County, Michigan, as we learned of the death of Trevon Tyler. Just 17 years old, Trevon died from complications following knee surgery. Trevon was a beloved member of the South Lyon community and a member of the South Lyon East High School football team. His coach called him ``the nicest, most fun-loving, caring kid.'' He ``walked with a pretty big pep in his step. He always said hi to everybody. Everybody loved him. He was a little bit of a jokester, had this big laugh, always made you smile.'' Trevon's incredible family, friends, classmates, and teammates are all heartbroken by his passing. His life was cut tragically short, but he will always be remembered by that smile, his laugh, his friendship, and his contributions to our community. Today, we are called to live our lives more like Tre, with joy and love at the forefront. ____________________

Every term I've been in Congress, three terms. I've introduced a resolution calling on Russia to release Paul and now he's finally free and he's coming home. This is a day we dreamed for, and it's absolutely remarkable.
