Five years ago today, the Republican baseball team took to the field for their regular morning practice. That morning took a dark turn when the team suddenly became a target of a Bernie Sanders' supporter with an agenda to shoot and kill Republicans. It could have been the worst political massacre in American history, but we are alive today, thanks to those brave and honorable law enforcement officers who were at the field that day and willing to sacrifice themselves to protect us. Every day, I wear this wristband stamped with the date of the shooting and the words, ``In God We Trust'' to remember the angels watching over us on that life-changing morning. It is a testament to that day, always living in our hearts and our minds. There is no doubt that without quick action of Special Agents Griner and Bailey, along with the Alexandria Police Department, the team would not be here today. We forever owe a debt of gratitude to our law enforcement and our first responders who acted swiftly to take down the gunman and simply save our lives. In God We Trust. ____________________
