                      NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT DAY

  (Mr. MITCHELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to address the House on 
National Law Enforcement Day.
  I am not sure we are all aware of the demands and risks that the men 
and women in uniform face every day when they go out to work. They 
respond to the call always, every day, in bad weather, in disasters, at 
huge risk.
  They often don't know what to expect, but they respond. They respond 
to domestic violence. They respond in issues of drug trafficking. They 
respond when there are bullets flying, and they do it without 
hesitation.

  I want to honor all of them, and their families, that go every day, 
put on a uniform and protect all of us. And, in particular, I want to 
say thank you to my oldest son who, as a six year old, decided he 
wanted to be a police officer, and continues to serve every day 
protecting his family and our community.
  And I want to thank all the law enforcement officers that, every day, 
get up to keep us safe.
