And, folks, it’s been the honor of my career to work with NAPO for all these years.  I think I’ve made every TOP COP event but one when I was in the hospital.  And other than that, I’ve made every one.  And we go all the way back to the days when I was a local official in New Castle County, Delaware.

 

And ever since that time, we have supported each other on every single issue that’s been important to your membership.  And you’ve always had my back.  You've always had my back in these fights up on Capitol Hill, and it’s made a gigantic difference.

Allen Beck; Igor Soldo, Las Vegas; Brian Jones, Virginia; Officer Casey Kohlmeier, Illinois -- they are not here to receive our thanks and our appreciation, although they're here.  But I want to personally thank their families.

 

To Casey’s mom, Keri Jo, my heart aches for you.  No parent should ever have their child predecease them.  And to Riley, you know your brother is bone of your bone, blood of your blood.  He’ll be in your life forever.
