"For long-term recovery efforts in Mayfield, one of the biggest needs has been finding new housing for renters whose homes were lost or destroyed by the tornado. Friday's dedication ceremony represents one more step forward toward that goal. As I've said from that very first morning I visited, we will be with Mayfield until every home and every life is rebuilt."

"While we sadly lost five individuals, each one a child of God, we know that thanks to heroic first responders like Officer Wilt, lives were saved. Officer Wilt ran toward danger to protect his fellow Kentuckians, and I am forever grateful. I was so honored to shake his hand and meet his loving family, who have also shown unimaginable strength and courage during this difficult time. Officer Nick Wilt is a true hero -- and we are proud to honor him this week as our Team Kentucky All-Star."
