Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, in today's high tech world, there seems to be an app for nearly everything, but when danger strikes there is still only one option. It is called the police, Mr. Speaker.

During National Police Week, I appreciate our officers, deputies, troopers, and the entire law enforcement family who put their lives on the line every day to protect others.

It takes courage to wear a badge. It takes even more courage to respond to an emergency, to step in harm's way, or to confront danger. But for our police, it is just part of the job.

Today, I want to say two words our officers do not hear nearly enough: Thank you. Thank you for protecting our businesses, our communities. Thank you for protecting our families and each of us. Thank you for upholding the law.

I will always back the blue, Mr. Speaker.
