           HONORING THE SACRIFICE OF JOHN HETLAND AND KOU HER

  (Mr. STEIL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEIL. Madam Speaker, this week, my southeast Wisconsin community 
lost two heroes: Racine Police Officer John Hetland and Milwaukee 
Police Officer Kou Her.
  Officer Hetland, a 24-year veteran of the Racine Police Department, 
was shot and killed while off duty, trying to stop an armed robbery.
  Officer Her, a 2-year veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department, was 
killed on his way home from a shift as a speeding car crashed into him.
  These men are heroes. They will always be remembered for their 
service.
  This is a solemn reminder of the sacrifices members of our law 
enforcement make every day to protect our communities.
  My prayers are with the families and friends of the officers and the 
entire law enforcement community grieving for these heroes.
