               REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF OFFICER SEAN TUDER

  (Mr. BYRNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to remember the life of an Alabama 
hero, Officer Sean Tuder, of the Mobile Police Department. Officer 
Tuder was tragically killed on January 20 while conducting an 
investigation.
  Officer Tuder joined the Mobile Police Department in 2016. He was 
named Officer of the Month for his exceptional work in improving public 
safety. As another sign of his commitment to service, Sean was a member 
of the Alabama National Guard.
  Mr. Speaker, Officer Tuder was the second Alabama police officer 
killed in the line of duty this month.
  Police officers are the peacekeepers of society. They go to work 
every day in an effort to keep our families in our community safe. 
Sean's story reminds us that we should never take their sacrifices for 
granted.
  To Sean's wife, Krissy, and his entire family, know that you are in 
our prayers and will continue to be in our prayers in the months and 
years ahead.
  We will never allow Sean's legacy of servant leadership and sacrifice 
to be forgotten. May the words written in Matthew's Gospel comfort all 
of us:

       Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the 
     sons of God.
