                          NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service and 
sacrifice of the brave police officers who put their lives on the line 
each day to keep our communities safe.
  This week is National Police Week, and communities all across America 
are showing their appreciation for the law enforcement officers who 
dedicate themselves to serving and protecting the public and bringing 
criminals to justice.
  We also remember the heroes who gave their lives in the line of duty, 
and we think of the families they left behind. It is our duty to make 
sure that those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their 
communities will never be forgotten.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all Americans to take the time this week to 
simply say ``thank you'' to a police officer in their city or town. We 
are grateful for their service, we are humbled by their courage, and we 
are indebted to them for their sacrifice.
