Political Quotes

“I rise with my colleagues from the Ohio delegation to pay tribute to Cleveland Officer Jamieson Ritter, who made the ultimate sacrifice for our community last week. Officer Ritter honorably served his country in the National Guard and Army Reserve and served his community for 4 years as a police officer. Facing the terrible risk law enforcement officers deal with every day, officer Ritter lived the motto, ``Protect and Serve.'' For example, he provided heroic emergency assistance multiple times this year, including saving the life of a gunshot victim wounded just weeks ago. For his consistently selfless service, he was named Officer of the Month in May. Officer Ritter exemplified the best of law enforcement, and for that we are profoundly grateful. May God hold Officer Ritter in the palm of His hand and give strength to his family and loved ones. Mr. Speaker, I ask all in the Chamber to rise for a moment of silence in remembrance of Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter. ____________________”
