RECOGNIZING THE MEN AND WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE 
                               SACRIFICE

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. NICHOLAS A. LANGWORTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2023

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the men and 
women in law enforcement who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of 
duty. On Friday, May 19, 2023, Sheriff James Allard and the Steuben 
County Sheriff's Department will host its annual Law Enforcement 
Memorial Service to honor those who stood on that thin blue line that 
keeps our families safe and our communities strong across New York's 
Southern Tier.
  Most of us expect our loved ones to come home from work at the end of 
the day, but there is no such guarantee for Law Enforcement Officers as 
they take their post. We as a nation must come together to support our 
Law Enforcement and recognize the inherent danger and sacrifice that 
these men and women endure to keep the rest of us safe.
  I also want to recognize the spouses, children and friends left 
behind. The pain of losing a loved one never truly goes away, and my 
heart goes out to those who share in that burden of service and 
sacrifice.
  John 15:13: ``Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down 
his life for his friends.''
  It is my humble honor to ask my colleagues to join me in remembering 
these brave, dedicated, and courageous men and women who were lost in 
the line of duty.
