On the recordJuly 25, 2023
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Officer Jake Wallin, a brave young veteran from Saint Michael, Minnesota. On July 14, while responding to a crash in south Fargo, a gunman shot and killed Jake and wounded two of his fellow officers and one civilian. Without hesitation, to protect those whom he served, Officer Jake Wallin made the ultimate sacrifice. My prayers go out to the Wallin family. Please know that the people of western Minnesota share your loss and we pray for Jake's family and for his law enforcement family. Mr. Speaker, let us never take for granted the heroes who walk among us. ____________________
