           HONORING THE LIFE OF OFFICER JACKSON RYAN WINKELER

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM RICE

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 7, 2020

  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Officer Jackson Ryan Winkeler who was killed in the line of duty on 
January 5, 2020 in Florence, South Carolina.
  Officer Winkeler was attempting to make a traffic stop when fired 
upon by the suspect. Jackson paid the ultimate price while protecting 
his community and serving our country. He not only served in law 
enforcement, but also volunteered with the Latta Fire Department. He is 
a true hero.
  The entire community is deeply saddened by the loss of Officer 
Winkeler. We cannot imagine the heavy sorrow that his family feels at 
this time. We pray that his life, service, and sacrifice will never be 
forgotten.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the 
entire Winkeler family and friends for their loss. May God bless them 
and give them peace during this very difficult time. I ask that we all 
keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

                          ____________________
