     HONORING THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN NORTH CAROLINA'S 8TH 
                         CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 15, 2015

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the fine 
men and women who faithfully serve in North Carolina's 8th 
Congressional District as law enforcement officers.
   Every year since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy declared May 
15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day, our country observes National 
Police Week during the calendar week of May 15th. This is the day we 
pay our respects to those heroic officers who died in the line of duty 
and to their families.
   National Police Week presents us with a unique opportunity to show 
support for these important public servants.
   My district is fortunate to have brave men and women who dedicate 
and risk their lives daily for our well-being and security. Their 
commitment to the safety of others deserves our gratitude and 
appreciation, and their service is an example to the people of North 
Carolina.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me today to 
recognize and honor the law enforcement officers in North Carolina's 
8th Congressional District.

                          ____________________
