                        Wednesday, May 27, 2020

  Mr. BUCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize National Police 
Week. Taking place during the week of May 10 through 16, 2020, National 
Police Week highlights our brave men and women in uniform for all their 
hard work keeping their communities safe. In the Fourth District of 
Colorado we are lucky to have many exemplary law enforcement officers 
serving the public every day. These dedicated individuals risk their 
lives to protect others and are deserving of our deepest gratitude, 
especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am proud to celebrate the 
many law enforcement officers in Colorado.
  I also rise to recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by several 
police officers while serving in Colorado's 4th district. Corporal 
Daniel H. Groves of the Colorado State Patrol was killed in a vehicle 
accident during a blizzard on March 13, 2019. He was assisting a 
motorist who had skidded off the road when another vehicle lost control 
and struck him. Master Trooper William James Moden, also of the 
Colorado State Patrol, was killed while assisting at the scene of a 
previous accident on June 14, 2019. He was also tragically struck by a 
passing vehicle. These brave men, both of whom had twelve years of 
dedicated service to the Colorado State Patrol, died serving their 
communities and it is an honor to recognize them for their sacrifice.
