Smith
Congressman Greg Pence, R-Indiana, delivered remarks on the House floor Wednesday to honor and remember fallen Indiana State Trooper Aaron Smith.
Smith died in the line of duty on June 28th after police say a Missouri man intentionally veered into the lane where he was deploying stop sticks to strike him during a police pursuit on Ronald Reagan Parkway in Hendricks County.
During his remarks, he delivered a short speech about Smith’s life and service. Smith was raised in Greenwood, attended Clark-Pleasant Community Schools and lived in Franklin with his wife at the time of his death.
“We will never forget Trooper Smith’s service and sacrifice to our Indiana community and our entire nation, and I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. He was a hero,” Pence said. “May Trooper Smith, as well as all of our fallen officers, rest in peace.”
