  COMMENDING VIRGINIA'S SEVENTH DISTRICT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOR 
                             THEIR BRAVERY

  (Mr. VINDMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today during National Police Week, I rise 
to commend the bravery of law enforcement officers across Virginia's 
Seventh Congressional District.
  In early April, tragedy struck Spotsylvania County when a mass 
shooting left three people sadly deceased and three others injured. Law 
enforcement officers from Spotsylvania County and the city of 
Fredericksburg swiftly answered the call and put their lives on the 
line to protect their neighbors.
  As a former prosecutor and Army veteran, I understand the mission 
that our men and women in uniform take on every day. They serve knowing 
that their work is bigger than any one person. It is about protecting 
our communities and upholding the law for our families and loved ones.
  Mr. Speaker, today, I thank the brave law enforcement officers of 
Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg and all officers serving across the 11 
counties of Virginia's Seventh Congressional District. Their service 
and sacrifice is deeply valued.
