minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of Law Enforcement 
Appreciation Day to show my support and utmost respect for peace 
officers across the Nation.
  Sadly, last year, we lost over 100 law enforcement officers in the 
line of duty. Of that number, three came from my hometown. I am 
reminded today of the continued sacrifice these officers make and the 
dangers they face day after day and night after night.
  It is important that we always show our appreciation for those who 
work tirelessly to keep us safe. A lesson could be learned from them on 
service. They serve people, communities, and a nation, not political 
ideologies.
  This selfless service is both physically and mentally demanding on 
officers and their families. So, today, we honor not only those who 
serve but those who serve alongside them.
  Law enforcement officers deserve our utmost respect and recognition 
today and every day. Please join me in thanking these brave men and 
women for their sacrifices and service to our country and our 
communities.
