as jim said, a really great honor to lie in honor as he is today. josh campbell, i was so struck when senator schumer said he was a peacekeeper not only in duty but in spirit. >> reporter: that's right. you look at the profession he chose, which is a dangerous one. we know across the country the vast majority of people in law enforcement do it for the right reasons. they wake up every morning putting on that gun, putting on that badge, understanding that that day might be their last because of the profession they have chosen, yet they do it anyway. that is what occurred there after that capitol riot, where officer sicknick was one of many capitol police officers who were trying to protect that building as this violent mob stormed their way inside. we know those injuries he received ultimately led to his death. what we're seeing are his brothers and sisters in arms coming together to remember him as well as the law maimers he was charged with protecting. this is the final thank you. it's also worth noting that this honor we're seeing right now, lying

in honor in the capitol.watching this ceremony tonight, this funeral of sorts. president biden appeared, virtually, unannounced. knew it when his motorcade was moving toward the capitol, he paid his respects. and what we're now seeing is shot we do not control, this is the official c-span shot coming out of the capitol and it may be turned off during our discussion. scheduled to be turned off by end of the hour. sam stein, what we're seeing tonight is something that we knew was coming, we knew that the capitol police officer being killed in line of duty like this would get this honor, but it brings us back to january 6th. so powerfully. and i, for one, was not ready for what we're feeling tonight. >> yeah, i feel exactly the same way. we had in essence a trauma inflicted on the nation's capital, and the people who work in there. and we kind of forgot to mourn it. weeks have gone by, we have not really collectively dealt with this. both as a political body but as a nation. and i think this night has been in a

these are just three that happen to live in my congressional district and it is my honor to honor them this evening. with that, i yield back to the gentlelady from florida, mrs. cammack. mrs. cammack: thank you, mr. donaldism look forward to as a fellow floridian getting to know your hometown heroes at some point in the near future. thank you for joining me here tonight on the floor of the people's house to honor hometown heros that make up the great state of florida. last but certainly not least, i would like to recognize my friend and the great sheriff of marion county, sheriff billy woods. i have known billy for nearly a decade and in that time i have seen his passion for helping people. i am proud to have worked with sheriff woods on combating human trafficking in the state of florida as well as taking on criminal drug traffickers and supporting the right of lawful gun owners. i am also proud to recognize his tireless efforts tonight to protect and serve our ever-growing community in marion county. i know billy to be a man of integrity, grit, and honsy. he is a tremendous defender

it is an honor to them we pay tribute to the fallen officer. some of those officers were fighting for their lives on january 6th, and we're in dange of losing their lives if they had not exhibited such a heroic effort. and they did save lives inside that capitol as well. members of the senate, members of congress, and i think you pointed this out earlier, chris -- this is the scene of the crime where he is laying in honor right now. the scene of the crime where there will be voting on impeachment for the president. it's surreal. to think that we are actually watching this happen in our country. at this moment, as we president's arrival. >> yep, and as soon as he comes up, obviously, we'll pay strict attention to it. we always say, don, we're living in historic times, and here's another never before -- not since 1812 has anyone dared try to come into the capitol, but never before have i seen something where the same men and women who were being protected by this man who gave his life, voted to advance a lie that instigated the entire insurrectio

but i think the best thing we can do to honor the memory of those who have died and honor those who will have currently -- who are currently grieving, is to work together to bring this virus down, two to -- to keep it under control, and mr. speaker, throughout this pandemic, i am sad to say the leader of the opposition has never failed in his efforts to score political points. he could be doing just that. he has twisted and turned, one week he calls for tougher border measures. he calls for schools to go back to learning, but this morning he tries to backpedal with the vaccine program. mr. speaker. he still one bundled the pharmaceutical comedies a farmer, mr. victor -- mr. speaker, and i try to make this point. he even attacked the vaccine task force, spending 600 75,000 pounds on the effort to discover of hard-to-reach groups would take the vaccine. i cannot think of a better investment right now for public funds. the right honorable gentlemen may think about apologizing for what he did and for that attack. mr. speaker, the right honorable gentlemen may go on making his political point

again, lying in honor under the u.s. capitol rotunda is a very, very rare honor.history that somebody has been afforded this particular honor of lying in honor under the rotunda. two previous u.s. capitol police officers killed in the line of duty are among those who preceded him. >> you see here congressional leadership entering the rotunda. >> lost the internal image there for a moment, but this is also a live shot at the u.s. capitol right now. what we're watching is the ceremonial arrival of officer brian sicknick, his remains at the capitol rotunda. we saw congressional leadership there from both parties, as part of the receipt, essentially, of him for the start of this solemn ceremony. this will go all night. it will be overnight in the rotunda. essentially attended by capitol police officers. and then we will allow -- they will allow members of congress to pay their respects in the morning, starting very early in the morning, starting at 7:00 a.m. there will be a departure ceremony add which i believe there will be remarks from congressional leaders later o

you have to honor the officer but you have to honor why he die by learning the lesson of this. i have covered many of these. >> i think -- as we listen to this, keep your eyes to the door on the left of the screen to the top, capital hill and the time stamp here. members of law enforcement are now entering and paying their respects and you know we don't have control of this camera. this is a pool camera to get close ups and see who's exactly there. chris, i want you to think about as we watch these men and women in uniform paying their respects and what we have gone through and watching this particular place, went through an insurrection. we had an inauguration and now we have a fallen officer laying at the capitol. these are times that people write about in the history books and we are living in that time right now. >> it is an interesting ceremony. they circle the officer and they come up in a line and salute. that's a powerful embrace of one of their own. literally surrounding them in the sense of honor of their own duty and they come by detachment of different aspects of ca

and i honor them and we will honor them as time goes. in this night tonight, we mention this gentleman who said most powerfully, harry dunn recalled the sickening events of january 6 when he says the level of racist abuse he suffered caused him to break down in tears. but he was not broken. and his quote was, y'all failed. that is my message today. all of the brutality that we may have experienced of which i will talk about in a moment, all of it failed. that is why we are here today fighting in the labor committee, fighting in the science committee, fighting in ways and means, energy and commerce, judiciary, interior, armed services, oversight committee, budget committee, where you will see our presence . we are fighting for america, but we are the conscience that drives the reality that there are more people to be concerned about than those of us in this chamber, that there are mothers and fathers who work every day, who don't see the fruit of their labor. there are children who clamor for education, but it is not there. there are sold

speaker, it is quite mystifying to see the honorable gentlemen we hither and and rocking stone one week he claims that he supports the vaccination. rollout, the next week actually he attacks task force sending money to try to reach hard to reach vaccine resistant groups says that kind of spending can't be justified. one he calls to go faster with rolling out vaccines when he would have stayed in the european agency which would have made that rollout impossible mr. speaker. he vaccinates mr. speaker, we vaccinate. we're going to get on with our agenda, cautious, but ire reversibly taking this country forward on a one-way road to freedom and i very much hope that his support which has been so in the past will genuinely prove irreversible this time, mr. speaker. >> andrea jenkins. >> thank you mr. speaker, the prime minister road map will provide many of my constituents with a vision of hope for the future. that life will be set to return to a new normal before the end of june and allow us to celebrate the great summer and inform the house the pre-emptive actions that government is taking

a memorial and what a nation chooses to honor from its past. the value i find it is an effort to instill and inculcate a common history and heritage and set of values that all the nations citizens, regardless of their political beliefs or what, can come around and share. it's whether we are immigrants or our families have been here for centuries. we should be able to go to a place like the memorial in kansas city or washington and appreciate what it is to be an american. i think that is the value. >> absolutely. i appreciate the comment you made about how in different areas. things shift. we have one particular inscription at the base of the tower dedicating it to those who served in defense of liberty for our nation. another inscription was added a decade later. it faces union station. it says to do everything we can to ensure lasting peace. it. has a different feel to it it speaks to what you are talking about in the present day. part of rain that lasting peace amongst ourselves. make sure people can do -- be themselves. you have the challeng

the tribes, they were looking at a place they would come in and honor and have honor, ceremonies, spend. at that time period, 1925, that was not looked at the same way we look at today. >> well, most of our people, especially more traditionalist, are not so in favor of doing anything with the rocks, because rocks are believed to be part of our system and living, so not to blast those and carve them and make a mountain and that sort of thing. but those were things that were decided by non-indians, you know, a long time ago. but what we did was, we studied the history of mount rushmore, the four presidents there, and then my part was to explain some of the american indian policies say, that washington had, or lincoln had, or that roosevelt had, and jefferson. >> today we still do have tribal people who are concerned about the black hills being carved, people living in the black hills. we try to honor that, some of it through our interpretive programming, but we also have a place that we set up in the park that is called the lakota and nakota and dakota heritage village. every summer, we h

patriots and honoring the revolution, honoring scripture goes hand in hand. and as part of that, there is this sense that the bible itself is the nation's book. the bible -- that the nation itself has a biblical kind of aura around it. that's a biblical nation, although they disagree radically over what that means. but it did -- when i say that, the bible became patriotically american, in many cases, people see it as a patriotic book. that the bible preaches patriotism. if the bible did preach patriotism, or teach patriotism, it's a militant patriotism. one of the things that we cannot ignore going forward is the militancy of scripture. that's something we really have to come to terms with. one of my favorite sections of professor george morrison's book on jonathan edwards, he makes the comment, and jonathan edwards is one of my other interesting favorite people to read. i don't agree with everything he says, all the images he preached, but jonathan edwards lived in a world that was very much like the world we see in lord of the rings and star wars, just this

at that point that intrinsic value of honoring the veterans, honoring those who served, is a little more inchoate. they are not here to acknowledge that, to feel that recognition. in a way, in a very spiritual that leads to the other main purposes i see in memorials. one is very much an educational purpose. in kansas city, you have the museum right there, so it is an incredibly strong educational component. the memorials in washington tend to not have strong educational components. they teach at a very broad level and then hopefully inspire further education. we recognize that this was a war that many americans did not know a lot about. we have incorporated a lot of educational material. i have reflected on this a lot in the last few years. a memorial and what a nation chooses to honor from its past. the value i find it is an effort to instill and inculcate a common history and heritage and set of values that all the nations citizens, regardless of their political beliefs or what, can come around and share. it's whether we are immigrants or our families have been here for centuries. we s
