“this Police Week, I rise to honor four fallen heroes from the Harris County Sheriff's Office whose names will soon be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial: Investigator John Coddou was a U.S. Army veteran and a 20-year member of the Harris County Sheriff's Office. His wife said he made people feel seen. Deputy Rondald Bates served 31 years with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. His son Derrick now proudly carries his badge as a deputy. Deputy Brad Sweetman spent 39 years in service, but his main job was simply being a daddy and a paw-paw. Deputy Fernando Esqueda was just 28. He was as good of a musician as he was a crime fighter. These men were patriots. They loved this country, and Texans are safer because of them. Mr. Speaker, I ask that they never be forgotten by this House and that we enter their stories into the Record.”
