              NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION MONTH

  Mr. SHEEHY. Mr. President, as we look back on National Law 
Enforcement Appreciation Month, it is my honor to pay tribute to the 
memory of nearly 150 peace officers who have given their lives in the 
line of duty in service to Montana since 1878.
  These officers put on the badge each morning with service, sacrifice, 
and duty at the heart of the mission. Day after day, no matter the 
conditions, they rose to the occasion, ran towards the danger, and 
embodied the best of our State and Nation. Their sacrifice is a solemn 
reminder that the peace and safety we enjoy in Montana would not be 
possible without those who hold the line.
  As we remember and honor our fallen peace officers, we also pay 
tribute and pledge our support to their families for all they have 
given to community and country. May God bless them, and may we ensure 
the legacies of their loved ones never fade.
  To Montana's peace officers wearing the badge today: Thank you for 
answering the call and boldly serving, protecting, and defending every 
day. I have your back 100 percent and always will.
