THE REAL HEROES THAT DAY

May we be blessed to understand what a hero is…
when it comes to our dominion
because in our country at this moment there is a difference of opinion…

I believe the Capitol police who died defending our Capitol 
and safeguarding our freedom January 6 were heroes…
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States 
and the laws of the District of Columbia 
these oaths…they were fulfilling them.

While President Trump issued a blanket pardon 
to more than1,500 people charged in the insurrection…
including those responsible for killing them.

But we will not be swayed by those trying to re-write history…
Those of us who witnessed the insurrection that day…will not be deterred…
For we will always remember what happened
and we know who the heroes were!
