Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr Speaker, I am honored to recognize Lake County Sheriff Peyton Grinnell, City of Clermont Police Chief Chuck Broadway, City of Leesburg Police Chief Rob Hicks, City of Fruitland Park Police Chief Gary Barrett Jr., City of Tavares Police Chief Sarah Coursey, City of Mascotte Police Chief Eric Pedersen, City of Groveland Police Chief Shawn Ramsey, Town of Astatula Police Chief Wally Hoagland, Town of Howey-in-the-Hills Police Chief Rick Thomas, and the law enforcement officers who keep Lake County safe every single day.

This week marks the annual observance of Police Week. Though we set aside one week a year to honor law enforcement, I encourage all Americans to join me not only this week, but every day, in recognizing the honor, courage, and commitment of America's law enforcement.

Our law enforcement officers are heroes in the community, They keep us safe and are willing to put their lives on the line every day in the course of their duties. It is impossible to fully express our gratitude or adequately recognize the professionalism of the men and women who voluntarily put their lives on the line for our safety and security. It is with deep respect that we pause today to honor the memory of the heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion and made the ultimate sacrifice.

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all the law enforcement officers who bravely and selflessly serve throughout Lake County. It is an honor to recognize them and all men and women in law enforcement.
