Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the life and service of New Hampshire State Police Staff Sergeant Jesse Sherrill. Staff Sergeant Sherrill was tragically killed on October 28 when his cruiser was struck by a tractor-trailer when he was on duty working an overnight detail. This is an immeasurable loss for his family and community and the entire State of New Hampshire. Today, our State will pause for a celebration of life for Staff Sergeant Sherrill. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and their children and extended family. We must never forget his dedicated service to keeping our State safe and the burden borne by the Sherrill family. My thoughts are also with the men and women of the New Hampshire State Police and law enforcement community that has lost one of its own. Day in and day out, those who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety for all of us. We can never forget their sacrifice. I urge Granite Staters to take time to reflect on the legacy of Staff Sergeant Sherrill and to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Through this horrible tragedy, we must honor his example and keep his memory alive. ____________________

I think any sort of political narrative that is ginned up to try to sow doubt among veterans is dangerous and is counterproductive to the work that is ongoing at VA.

These benefits have been earned. They have been paid for through veteran service, and we have got to reflect that in law.
