Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, we celebrated Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, which acknowledges the contributions that men and women in uniform make on a daily basis to keep our communities safe and secure. It was heartening to see the display of support for these individuals throughout the House Office Buildings on Monday. As the Sun went down, you could see blue lights in windows across the Capitol complex honoring those brave men and women. The dedicated individuals who serve in law enforcement help to preserve the way of life we hold so dear. They walk the neighborhood beats, patrol our streets, and willingly do dangerous work to protect our families and communities. It is one of the most honorable activities anyone can engage in, and I want to thank them for their selflessness and bravery they demonstrate as officers of the law. They deserve our profound gratitude. ____________________
