                        Thursday, June 25, 2026

  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate the 
Prince William County Police Department (PWCPD) for receiving several 
Valor Awards, recognizing the exceptional bravery and selfless service 
demonstrated by the department's officers.
  As we mark the 40th anniversary of the Valor Awards, we are proud to 
celebrate this tradition that has stood as the highest recognition of 
courage within the Prince William County Police Department. Since 
inception, these awards have honored generations of first responders 
who answered the call when it mattered most.
  The impact of such bravery resonates throughout the community. Each 
courageous act, whether confronting immediate threats, providing aid in 
moments of crisis, or responding calmly under pressure reflects a deep 
commitment to the well-being of others. These actions go beyond 
traditional law enforcement. They embody public service at its highest 
level. The PWCPD has also demonstrated strong performance in 
investigative work, expanded community outreach, and received 
recognition for training, crisis response, and community-focused 
policing. Together, these efforts strengthen trust, safety, and unity 
across neighborhoods, schools, and local businesses.
  By recognizing the Prince William County Police Department today, we 
not only celebrate their courage, but also the profound influence that 
dedicated public service can have on a community. We are grateful for 
their sacrifice and proud to stand with them in gratitude and 
recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the Prince 
William County Police Department for their remarkable contributions to 
our community.
