the Medal of Valor for the integrity and commitment he showed during a
cross-county pursuit.
Deputy Eber went above and beyond to ensure the safe rescue of a
fellow Hoosier. His remarkable actions led to successful communication
between multiple agencies and saved a life. Deputy Eber's bravery,
instinct, and commitment to service are exemplary characteristics of
the men and women in our nation's law enforcement who work to keep our
communities safe every day.
I am grateful for the hard work and dedication Deputy Eber has shown
in his career in local law enforcement as well as in the National
Guard. His spirit and courage are positive reflections on northern
Indiana, and our community is a safer place to live because of his
service.
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Indiana's 2nd District, I want to thank
Deputy Eber for his leadership, determination, and conviction. I
commend the hard work of all our nation's police officers, first
responders, and emergency dispatchers, and I applaud Deputy Eber's
embodiment of law enforcement at its finest.”
