WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden paid tribute to law enforcement officers who responded to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by signing legislation Thursday to award them Congressional Gold Medals for their service. Biden thanked the officers for saving the lives of members of Congress during those “tragic hours” of the attack.
President Joe Biden, joined by lawmakers and members of law enforcement and their families, signs legislation to award congressional gold medals to law enforcement in the Rose Garden of the White House on Aug. 5, 2021.“My fellow Americans, let’s remember what this was all about," Biden said of the siege."It was a violent attempt to overturn the will of the American people, to seek power at all costs, to replace the ballot with brute force. To destroy, not to build.
Klobuchar said children of the future will be able to walk by and see the medals in the Smithsonian, and their parents will tell them, “This happened, this attack happened.” Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges described foaming at the mouth, bleeding and screaming as the rioters tried to gouge out his eye and crush him between two heavy doors. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn said a large group of people shouted the N-word at him as he was trying to keep them from breaching the House chamber. Both were at the White House ceremony.
