“I thank Mr. Kilmer for his great words and for putting some specifics around what we can do to help the men and women in blue and green and brown keep our communities safe. Madam Speaker, the cost, as you know, of keeping our communities safe, keeping us safe, is great. The people who pay the price of that cost are very dedicated, special people. It truly is a solemn honor for all of us to be able to pay tribute to, and to thank, the men and women who work every day to do just that, keep us safe. As Mr. Kilmer just said, we should be committed to doing all we can to provide all they need for them to be able to do their jobs. Madam Speaker, I thank all of my colleagues from the State of Washington, and I thank the men and women who do their jobs without thinking twice, who are dedicated to protecting us, to keeping our families and communities safe. We owe them a great deal. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
