              HONORING OUR BRAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS

  (Mrs. MILLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor our Nation's brave law 
enforcement officials who protect our communities from violent crime.
  Just weeks ago, in West Virginia, a Fayette County deputy, Levi 
Garretson, was attacked during a traffic stop. Thankfully, volunteer 
firefighter, Calvin Endicott, was nearby to help fight off the 
attacker.
  Because of Mr. Endicott's actions, Deputy Garretson was able to go 
home that night. Sadly, this is not the case for many officers in our 
country. This growing hatred is appalling. Incredibly, some of my 
colleagues across the aisle call to defund the police.
  Our country was founded on ideals that promote civility and security 
for all Americans. We need to unify around a shared goal of law and 
order, to stop the rioters and anarchists who burn our cities and 
threaten our law enforcement.
  I will always stand with our brothers and sisters in uniform.
