Ms. LEE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of National Police Week to recognize and honor the brave men and women in blue across the country. This week is a time to reflect on the sacrifices they make to keep us all safe.

My years serving as a prosecutor and judge allowed me to see and appreciate firsthand the sacrifices our law enforcement officers make to ensure our community's safety, and I cannot thank them enough. They work around the clock to keep our friends and families safe, regardless of the circumstances.

Now as the Representative for Florida's 15th District, I am proud to represent thousands of brave law enforcement officers who display great courage, bravery, patience, and diligence when called to run into danger, all to protect those who are often strangers.

To the law enforcement officers that never returned home, we will never forget their sacrifice.

And to the law enforcement officers of Florida's 15th District--thank you. I thank them for all that they do and their dedication to serving and protecting our community day in and day out. I will always stand with them.
