Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CLOUD. Mr. Speaker, it is with profound respect, humility, and gratitude that I join all of Nueces County today in remembering our fallen heroes--and recognize the Nueces County 2023 Regional Police Memorial Ceremony in honoring our heroes service to our community.

Throughout the years, we have lost 28 Nueces County law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. These officers dedicated their lives to protecting us, our families, and their community. They leave behind a legacy of duty and sacrifice as a challenge to us who remain in the shadow of their sacrifice. Their service will never be forgotten.

Christ tells us that there is no greater love than for one to lay down their life for a friend--calling those who chose a life of service to others as the greatest in His kingdom.

My prayers are with the families, friends and those who served alongside during this time of both grieving and reflection.

Thank you to all of our law enforcement officers who continue in service of our communities.

I hope my colleagues will also join me in thanking these brave individuals and honoring their legacy.
