As to those heroes from Southwest Michigan who have died in the line of duty in past years, Berrien County Deputy Sheriff Elton Stover, Matawan Police Officer Scott A. Beyerstead, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Officer Eric Zapata, and Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Ryan Joseph Proxmire [are heroes from Southwest Michigan who have died in the line of duty in past years]. In the face of anti police voices, this must be said clearly here in the People's House. To the officers and their families serving today in southwest Michigan and across America, thank you.
