in june of last year mentor police officer matthew mazady was shot and killed by a hit-and-run driver. he had served with the metro police department for 14 years. he was beloved business his fellow officers, by his family, his friends and entire community. this morning i had the opportunity to visit the national law enforcement officers memorial here in washington, d.c. and i was able to see the inscribed names on the wall there of thousands of law enforcement officers we've lost over the years. if you haven't been down there it's a powerful experience. but there was also a beautiful memorial set up around those walls with wreaths, flowers, photographs, magazine articles, newspaper articles, other information about officers who we lost in the last year, including these two officers from westerville, ohio, who were tragically murdered last year while serving their community and all of us. on february 10, 2018, westerville police officers anthony morale and eric joining were shot while responding to a 911 call. sadly it was fatal. they had rushed to the scene. they had arrived to help.
