NANCY PELOSI: Our promise to Brian's family is that we will never forget his sacrifice. We must be vigilant as what President Lincoln referred to as the harsh artillery of time. We will never forget. With your permission, may we be worthy to carry Brian, in our hearts. We will never forget.
Each day, when members enter the Capitol, this temple of democracy, we will remember his sacrifice and then others that day who fought so hard to protect the Capitol and the Congress. And throughout our nation's history, including officer Jacob Chestnut and Detective John Gibson, and we are blessed to be joined today by Officer Chestnut's wife, Gwendolyn. The coverage of these heroes brings honor, brings luster, to our Constitution and our democracy.
