Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of U.S. Capitol Police Officer William Evans. This week, we pay our respects to Officer Evans' life of service as he was remembered with a congressional tribute and lying in honor in the United States Capitol rotunda. Officer Evans was a beloved father, husband, brother, son, and friend. He was a dedicated officer, joining the U.S. Capitol Police on March 7, 2003, and servicing for 18 years. In addition to patrolling the north barricade, Officer Evans was a member of the Capitol Division's First Responder's Unit. Officer Evans was a member of our Capitol family, and I want to send my heartfelt condolences to the Evans family for their loss. Mr. Speaker, let's take this time to remember Officer Evans and to thank each and every member of U.S. Capitol Police and National Guard members here on the Capitol Grounds for their continued service to keep us safe. ____________________
