men and women who answer the call to a life of service.
  We owe a debt of thanks to our police and law enforcement officers 
who every day, from the moment they put on their badges, know that they

communities, our freedoms, officers who choose to protect those who 
ridicule them, disrespect them, and undermine them.
  I thank our law enforcement officers in Missouri's Fourth 
Congressional District and officers all over America. I thank them for 
their service. We stand with them. We support them. We will always have 
their backs.
