            RECOGNIZING SGT. PAUL ARNOLD'S FAITHFUL SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARK E. GREEN

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 3, 2019

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, in 2006, Sgt. Paul Arnold 
received his first cancer diagnosis. But after 26 years in law 
enforcement--13 years with the Franklin Police Department--Sgt. Arnold 
would not surrender his post. For 13 more years, he has continued to 
serve his community and act as a bulwark against crime. Many consider 
Arnold a mentor, and all know him to be an example of character and 
honor. His reputation is known far and wide. In 2017, Sgt. Arnold was 
acknowledged for distinguished service and given the Theodore Roosevelt 
Police Award--an award given to outstanding officers that serve in 
spite of a serious illness.
  Sgt. Arnold is soon retiring as a Franklin Police Officer. The 
Franklin Police Department will miss this servant leader--but we are 
grateful for all Sgt. Arnold has done to build strong young men who 
will carry on the torch of service in their community.
  Too often everyday acts of bravery go unnoticed and our civil 
servants unacknowledged, so it is my honor to thank Sgt. Arnold on 
behalf of all Tennesseans for his courage, dedication, and service.
