“I speak to honor the life of Trooper Joseph Bullock, whose watch ended on the morning of February 5, 2020, when fatally shot in the line of duty. Trooper Bullock's life was devoted to protecting those he had never met, in the Air Force and the Florida Highway Patrol for 19 years, and he paid dearly that others would be safe. There are no words or actions that can repay the debt we each owe heroes like Trooper Bullock. It would be fruitless for me to attempt words to remove grief from his family or fellow troopers. I can only offer from our Nation the most ardent thanks for sharing him as a protector and pray to our Father in Heaven that every thought of him is a cherished memory and pride that he was a man who laid down his life for others. ____________________”
