                            HON. ERIC CANTOR

                        Thursday, June 28, 2012

  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the fallen police 
officers of Henrico County, VA. We have with us today the Henrico 
County Police Athletic League, who are in Washington to lay a wreath at 
the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, in honor of the fallen 
and their families.
  The legacy left by the fallen officers of Henrico County illuminates 
the strength of their commitment to public service. To pay tribute to 
those officers whose lives were tragically shortened, 250 students from 
Henrico County, VA have traveled to Washington to participate in 
today's wreath laying ceremony. These students are part of a program 
offered by the Henrico County Police Athletic League that instills in 
young people the values of integrity, self-respect, and discipline.
  I offer my support and gratitude to the families and countless 
friends of these officers that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Their 
memory is an inspiration to all of us.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me today in remembering the fallen 
heroes of Henrico County, and thanking the Henrico Police Athletic 
League for service and commitment to our community.

                          ____________________
