It's quite possible that I could go to work and not come home. And people who have paid that ultimate sacrifice deserve to be honored by their community, by our country. So we are honoring Adam Buckner and Jason Southard from my department, from the Tucson police. And I wish that we didn't have to add them to the wall, but it is an amazing honor to have them there and that they will never be forgotten. Okay. Okay.
It's an honor to be here and pay the respects to the people who paid the ultimate price and gave their life in the line of duty.
We're here to represent one of our guys that was killed last year. Last year, we lost Jamal Mitchell in a shooting. All the law enforcement from all over the world, you know, that come here to support this event. It's a huge lift for the families to be a part of it.
It's a total honor for us just to be out here, just to continue to honor those that have fallen and their lives.
There definitely is a renewed sense of energy for law enforcement in this nation.
It's night and day. What the changes that are already seen in the past several months, you know, the support that we did not have and now we do have.
It's wonderful to know that we have a president who supports law enforcement and law and order in general.
It's pretty clear cut that, you know, he has law enforcement's back. Law and order is top priority. It's reassuring to all of us that actually do the job. Support at the highest helps the local law enforcement that you don't see every day.
Mr. President, thank you for your continued support of law enforcement.
Thank you for supporting us.
Mr. President, thank you very much for opening the White House.
On behalf of the Anaheim police department and the officers all across the nation, we thank you for your support.
I think I can speak for police across the country that it truly makes a difference when you have a president that supports you.
