               HONORING FALLEN OFFICERS FROM PUERTO RICO

  (Miss GONZALEZ-COLON asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Miss GONZALEZ-COLON. Mr. Speaker, I stand with Israel.
  Today, in National Police Week, I rise to recognize our municipal, 
State, and Federal law enforcement officers in Puerto Rico and their 
commitment to public safety.
  I also rise to honor those brave officers from the island who lost 
their lives in the line of duty during the past year.
  From the Puerto Rico Police Bureau: Captain Roberto Rodriguez-
Hernandez, Lieutenants Jose Garcia-Vazquez and Juan Rivera-Padua, 
Sergeants Miguel Martinez-Ortiz, Ricardo Perez-Ortiz, Mayra Rodriguez-
Burgado, Juan Ramirez-Padilla, Luis Marrero-Diaz, and Juan Rosado-
Lopez.
  From the Carolina Municipal Police Department: Sergeants Eliezer 
Hernandez-Cartagena and Luis Salaman-Conde.
  We are eternally grateful to those officers who made the ultimate 
sacrifice while protecting their communities.
  Let's back the blue.
