“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service of Officer Ashley Guindon. Officer Guindon was killed in the line of duty Saturday while responding to a call for help from a domestic violence victim. She was 28 years old, and during her short life, Officer Guindon had done more for others than most of us will ever do. She spent 6 years in the Marine Corps Reserves before interning and ultimately working with the Prince William County Police Department. At funeral services Tuesday, Officer Guindon was remembered as a policewoman and as a peace officer. In Prince William County, the Police Department's stated mission is to ``enhance the quality of life by providing police services through shared responsibility with the public.'' As members of the public, it is incumbent upon us to respect the work that police officers do, the sacrifices that they make, and the lives that they touch across the Commonwealth and the United States of America. God rest you and keep your family, Officer Guindon. Thank you for your service. ____________________”
