RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize May 13 through 19 as
National Police Week. This week is a special time to honor the law
enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty
protecting our communities.
Last Sunday, 360 of those brave men and women were added to the
number of fallen law enforcement heroes on the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial. Their sacrifice is not forgotten, and their families
remain in our prayers during this week of remembrance.
We are blessed to live in a country founded on the rule of law, and
this cherished principle would not be preserved without our Nation's
dedicated law enforcement officers.
This week, we also show our gratitude to the 900,000 sworn law
enforcement officers who put their lives on the line daily for our
safety. Thanks for all you do.
