On Monday, November 4^th, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) will provide remarks at the 30^th Anniversary Memorial Service for Deputy Ollie F. “Sammie” Childress Jr., hosted by the Wilson County Sheriff’s Department.

“Thirty years ago today, the life of Deputy Sheriff Ollie F. “Sammie” Childress Jr. was cut short while he served in the line of duty,” said Congressman Henry Cuellar.  “The cowardly act that took Sheriff Childress too soon robbed us of an upright public servant and defender.  It is an honor to speak on the occasion of his memorial and stand in the company of his family and the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serve and protect our communities.  Deputy Childress’s acts of selflessness and bravery and his years of service to the communities in Wilson County serve as an example for us all.”
