On the recordMay 13, 2021
First I would like to thank my colleague from Florida, Mrs. Cammack, aka Cat, for organizing tonight's Special Order hour to recognize our National Police Week. This morning, I had the privilege of joining Leader McCarthy and several of our colleagues at the National Law Enforcement Memorial to show our respect for the fallen and our support for the men and women in uniform. Last year was one of the deadliest years on record for law enforcement officers. So now, more than ever, we need to back the blue and show our continuous support for law enforcement. When I was a child, I can remember my grandfather telling me: If you ever get in need or get scared, go to a police officer. Law enforcement has not changed. I still encourage my children and my grandchildren to do the same. I think we have changed the way we view law enforcement. To all law enforcement officers in this country: Please know that I support you. You are making a difference in our community. You are helping the American people, and we are forever grateful. On this National Police Week, I encourage all Americans to honor the sacrifices that are made by men and women in uniform, and thank every police officer for the job they are doing. ____________________
