Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. It is a privilege to honor the more than 800,000 sworn officers serving across the United States for their unwavering dedication to upholding the law and safeguarding our communities. The challenges they face and the importance of their work cannot be overstated. Since its establishment in 2015, National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day has been observed annually on January 9. This day provides a meaningful opportunity for our Nation to express gratitude for the brave men and women who wear the badge with honor and integrity. I thank the Capitol Police, the Secret Service, and the Metropolitan Police Department for their continuous efforts to keep us safe here in our Nation's Capital. I am also deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers in my home State of Pennsylvania, including the State troopers and the dedicated local police departments across the 15th District, for their steadfast commitment to protecting our families and communities. I thank all law enforcement officers across the United States for their selfless service and the sacrifices they make every day in defense of public safety. ____________________
