Good afternoon. Thank you all for being here – all of you. In a few minutes, we will begin our meeting of the Justice Department’s Election Threats Task Force.
Thank you so much for the kind introduction. I am honored to speak with you, to remember a tragedy that must never be forgotten, that commands our vigilance against hatred and bigotry and that denies us any moral refuge for silence and inaction. Acts of remembrance like today’s program not only honor the victims, they also protect the rule of law.
Thank you, Director Peters, for that kind welcome and introduction — and thank you for your steadfast and inspiring leadership of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Thank you, Andy [Potter]. I’m so pleased to join you here in Chicago at the close of this important conference. And it’s a great privilege to be able to honor these distinguished Medal of Honor recipients for their exceptional contributions to the corrections field, and to the safety of our communities.
Let me begin by saying good morning to all of you colleagues. In my closing remarks for the U.S. team, there are three brief points I would like to make.
Thank you so much, Kris [Rose]. I am very pleased to join you and your amazing team as we honor these eight exceptional award recipients, and as we recognize the tireless work being done by victim service professionals across the country.
