Honoring Fallen Heroes

This week is Police Week, and today the country observes National Peace Officers Memorial Day to honor the law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty over the past year. If you noticed flags in your community flying at half-staff today, that's why.

Sadly, we are adding too many names to the memorial of fallen officers. Last year, 138 officers died in the line of duty and the killings continue unabated in 2024.

The next time you see a police officer, thank them for the extremely difficult job they are doing to keep us safe.

To all the men and women in law enforcement, please know that millions of Americans are grateful for what you do and the risks you take each and every day! We are hoping, praying, and voting for better days ahead.
