He was a hero, just like EVERY man and woman who walks the "thin blue line." Only this particular hero made the ultimate sacrifice.

 
Officer Brian Sicknick sustained grave injuries on January 6th while protecting the Capitol from criminal rioters. Despite the best efforts of EMTs, doctors and nurses, he succumbed to those injuries a day later.

 
Earlier this morning, I introduced a bill in the House that will properly recognize Officer Sicknick at the U.S. Capitol for his service and bravery. I sincerely appreciate Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) for sponsoring the companion bill over in the U.S. Senate.

 
Rest in peace, Officer Sicknick.
