Yes, sir. I apologize folks I had been asked by Senator Rank to be able to speak to the past bill so my apologies No problem Mr Chair I just wanted to have the senators on the committee and all the people in the audience understand that Mr. and Mrs. Scheer are here today, and we want to recognize them for the loss of their son. And this was a tragic thing that happened in Morrow County, and I'm glad that we can honor this fallen hero by designating a memorial highway in his name because he made the ultimate sacrifice. I do would like to just express a personal note from the standpoint that having talked with Sheriff Hinton, I've never really seen a public official as emotionally charged as he was over this whole thing. So I know your son was very important to the department, and we share with you in your law. So happy to pass this on, and we will be voting on this on the floor today as well. Thank you for being here.
I can take the time to thank the committee for petitions Thank you It was my great honor to be able to meet both of you out there and share experiences Again, thank you so much for being here.
