            RECOGNIZING NATIONAL PEACE OFFICERS MEMORIAL DAY

  (Mr. NEHLS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. NEHLS. Madam Speaker, tomorrow, May 15, is National Peace 
Officers Memorial Day, a day to honor and remember the more than 22,000 
brave law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the 
line of duty.
  Having served in law enforcement for 30 years, I am proud to see so 
many of my colleagues recognizing the sacrifice of these brave officers 
this week. They certainly deserve it.
  But truly honoring their sacrifice means doing so every day, not just 
on May 15 and not just this week. That means giving law enforcement the 
tools necessary to keep our communities safe, pushing back against any 
and all attempts to demonize and diminish their service, and doing 
everything we can to reduce the attacks against law enforcement.
  Now more than ever, law enforcement across our country needs true 
Americans to boldly stand with them. That is what I am proud to do here 
today. And I ask every one of my colleagues and the American people to 
do so, as well.
