Sheriff Nugent served 35 years. I know he looks a lot younger than I do, but he served a couple of years longer than I did. Sometimes we call people heroes and we don't readily accept those titles because, as the sheriff said, we just want to help. Cops just want to help. They want to help people. They want to serve the community and want to keep people safe. I am proud to have another Member here tonight who I am going to introduce who has been a staunch supporter of law enforcement since his time in Congress. We actually came here together in 2005, and he happens to be a judge from Texas. So I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe).
