Our thought for today is from Proverbs 2:10-11: "For wisdom will come into your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; prudence will watch over you and understanding will guard you."
Let us pray. Place wisdom in our hearts with humility and understanding. Guide us this day by Your spirit and provide these Representatives and staff the tools to accomplish their work. Make this body one in serving the people of this State. Bestow Your blessings and peace on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who assist them in their duties. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to note that the week of May 12-18, 2013, is National Police Week; and
Whereas, in 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Today, during Police Week tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, D.C., to participate in a number of planned events honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice; and
Whereas, the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service, sponsored by the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, is one in a series of events, including the Candlelight Vigil, sponsored by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, and various seminars, all sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors; and
Whereas, the memorial service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of approximately one hundred twenty survivors and supporters of law enforcement. Decades later, the event attracts between twenty-five thousand and forty thousand attendees from departments throughout the United States, as well as from agencies throughout the world, to our nation's capital each year; and
Whereas, this commemoration provides a unique opportunity to meet others who share a common brotherhood. To further the spirit of fellowship, the Fraternal Order of Police D.C. Lodge #1 sponsors
receptions each afternoon and evening during Police Week for all law enforcement personnel; and
Whereas, grateful for their contributions to the safety of South Carolina's citizenry, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in commending the fine police officers serving throughout the Palmetto State and in recognizing May 12-18, 2013, as National Police Week. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express the gratitude of the citizens of South Carolina for the sacrificial service of this great state's police officers and recognize May 12-18, 2013, as National Police Week.
The Resolution was adopted.
