Madam Speaker, Montana is a State blessed with people who have a strong commitment to service. In fact, more than 100,000 military veterans call our State home, and our dedicated law enforcement officials perform critical services each and every day. On August 14, 2014, we lost a great Montanan when Cascade County sheriff deputy and Marine Corps combat veteran Joseph James Dunn the First was killed in the line of duty. Joe put faith and family at the center of his life, going on multiple mission trips. He was described as a ``bold ambassador for Christ.'' No one was more important to Joe than his family: his dear wife, Robynn; son, Joey; and daughter, Shiloh. Joe will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He personified service to his country, to his State, and to his community. Joe's life is an inspiration for all Montanans. ____________________
