             HONORING OFFICERS DURING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, this is National Police 
Week, highlighted by Peace Officers Memorial Day, which President John 
F. Kennedy designated, in 1962, as May 15.
  Law enforcement officers and their families selflessly serve our 
communities across the country. Americans appreciate honoring officers, 
their families, and fallen heroes on Peace Officers Memorial Day.
  Law enforcement personnel are national heroes. We are grateful for 
their sacrifices made to serve and protect our country on a daily 
basis.
  We also provide our deepest support and gratitude to those who have 
been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty and to their 
families. Grateful citizens across the country will take time to thank 
a police officer this week.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
