Political Quotes

“I sit by an American hero, my friend, Sam Johnson, to recognize three American heroes in my own hometown: a brave police officer and two sisters, Bre and Kaylie Lasley. Last week, a man broke into their house and began to viciously attack these two sisters with a knife. They defended each other, they supported each other, and they fought for each other's lives. Fortunately, a police officer was in the area and, when he heard their screams, he ran to the rescue. Just seconds before this intruder was expected to take Bre's life, this heroic police officer entered the scene and saved her. Speaking of this officer, Bre said: ``Right when we made eye contact, I knew that I was safe. It's a miracle that he had so much composure. He was our angel.'' I am proud to serve in a country where police officers put their lives on the line every single day to save us. I am proud to serve in a country where we know that the country isn't great because of the actions of the government; it is great because of heroic and courageous actions of individuals, which is why I would like to present this police officer with my first Profile of Courage award. ____________________”
