                        HONORING POLICE OFFICERS

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, it is good to be an American because 
as I stand here today during National Police Week, I can truly say that 
across America, we honor the police officer who holds a child's hand. 
We honor the police officer who comes to an emergency situation.
  I honor the police officers who, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, 
were on the front lines without testing or vaccination, helping many 
others. I know, Madam Speaker, because they helped me. They helped me 
with my testing sites. Now, they help me with my vaccination sites.
  I want to remind them they will be helping me tomorrow, and that is 
Saturday the 15th, when we are at Key Middle School and Heights High 
School, vaccinating children 12 to 15 years old with the Pfizer 
vaccination, from 2 to 5 at Key Middle School and 10 to 1 at Heights 
High School.
  We mourn those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. That is 
because we are Americans, and we stand united in that effort. There can 
be no divide. We know who we believe in and what we believe in. We 
thank them so very much, and we also believe in the liberties of all 
people.
