        June 14, 2017;
            (2) recognizes the Police Department, the Office of the

            (3) recognizes the additional victims who survived the 
        shooting and supports their continued recovery from physical 
        and psychological wounds, including--

                    (B) whose professionalism, vigilance, and self-
                sacrifice is a daily example of the steadfast 
                patriotism that civil servants should strive for in 
                service to one another and to the United States.
