Honoring Those Who Protected the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 2021

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol faced an unprecedented assault as rioters stormed the building, threatening the core of American democracy. In the face of chaos, Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department exhibited extraordinary bravery and resilience, protecting lawmakers and the Capitol itself. In recognition of their heroism, Congress awarded these officers the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor, underscoring the nation's gratitude and respect. This award, bestowed in a bipartisan ceremony, highlighted the critical role of law enforcement in defending democratic institutions against violent insurrection. The Congressional Gold Medal to the Capitol Police serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing fight to preserve democracy and the sacrifices made by those who defend it.
