On the recordMay 13, 2011
And Members of this great body, this week is Law Enforcement Memorial Week. We have thousands of police officers from across the Nation here in Washington, D.C., to honor those fallen officers of last year and years before. Last year we lost 156 police officers who were killed in the line of duty protecting each and every one of us. This year we are on track to beat that record, unfortunately. Sixty-eight police officers have already been killed. I stand today to have all of you recognize their sacrifice and the families who have survived and the police officers who continue marching on. I yield to the gentleman from New York.
