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.
