yet from the unspeakable horror spreading extraordinary heroism, law enforcement heroes confronted the insurrectionist to protect the capitol, the congress, and our constitution. and it is with great respect and admiration that we are joined by the families this morning. thank you to the families for considering us worthy to share your grief, to honor your loss. when we had the gold medal ceremony, the highest honor the congress can bestow, i said at that time your acceptance of that gold medal in honor of your family member s courage brought luster to the medal. we always pray for god to bless america. and he certainly did with the heroism of these heroes. as we mark this solemn day, let
