HONORING DEPUTY JAMES MARK WINDSOR

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 87 (Thursday, May 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 87 (Thursday, May 21, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S2441] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING DEPUTY JAMES MARK WINDSOR Mr. TUBERVILLE. Mr. President, 31 years ago Alabama lost a legend, Randolph County Deputy James Mark Windsor, who was killed at the young age of 28 years old in the line of duty on May 6, 1995. Deputy Windsor answered the call to serve his community with courage and humility, dedicating himself to protecting the people of Randolph County and the great State of Alabama. East Alabama is undoubtedly a better, safer place for families in our great State because of the work of Deputy Windsor. Though his time in law enforcement was tragically brief, his impact and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Deputy Windsor served as a reserve deputy for 2 years before attending the police academy and becoming an active deputy with the Randolph County Sheriff's Office. After only 4 months as a full-time deputy, he made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. His willingness to step forward and serve speaks volumes about his character, sense of duty, and commitment to others. As the anniversary of his passing comes around each year, it is important that we remember Deputy Windsor's life and impact that he continues to make in his community. The people of Alabama remain forever indebted to him and to all law enforcement officers who put themselves in harm's way in service. His bravery lives on in the lives of his family and friends. My wife Suzanne and I extend our heartfelt prayers to Deputy Windsor's family, friends, fellow deputies, and all those who knew and loved him as they celebrate the legacy Deputy Windsor has left behind. May they find comfort in knowing that his sacrifice will never be forgotten, and may God continue to bless the memory of Deputy James Mark Windsor. ____________________
