First of all, thank you for your service and dedication. Thank you for speaking up and trying to right this egregious wrong.
This plaque MUST be installed, not just as a memorial to the brave officers who lost their lives during the Jan. 6th insurrection, but as a living memorial to the dedicated officers who were willing to risk their lives to protect the sanctity of the Capital and to protect the lives of all who were inside that day. Trump mifgt be able to post a website of lies, but websites are fortunately) not permanent. He cannot erase the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of recorded video and media coverage of what actually happened. That includes what was really said by the people in that violent mob, as well as the members of Congress who spoke against them and the person that instigated it all - Trump. That includes his Republican cronies who castigated him and the mob, but are now strangely silent. Their words are also recorded. I, for one, will never remain silent about what I viewed, with my own eyes, and heard, with my ears.
I would pray that anyone who reads this, will do the same thing I will be doing after posting this note. I will be writing, emailing, and calling my State Senators AND Representatives! I will be then reaching out, in the same manner, to every other member of the Senate, and for good measure, the House, to remind them what I saw on that January 6th. To repurpose a qoute from another disaster many years ago, "This is a day that will go down in infamy!" I am but one Nurse with a very loud and persistent voice. I will keep speaking out and reminding our elected officials of their duty and responsibility to display this plaque where everyone who enters the Capital will be able to read it, remember what happened that day, and hopefully say a prayer for the offices who lost their lives and for all who bravely fought to preserve the Capital and the lives inside🙏🏻
This country owes more than a simple plaque to honor the men and women of the Capital Police who defended our democracy that day. Every cowardly Republican who is blocking this display should be voted out of offices in my opinion.
Everyone knows who was responsible for what happened on Jan 6th. The fact that millions of people voted him back into office is a stain that this country will never be able to remove.
THANK YOU Mr Hodges not only for your heroic actions on that day but for fighting to honor your colleagues and those who are no longer with us. 🙏
Thank you, Daniel. I'm sure you all have seen that Trump's regime has been correctly called a crime syndicate by his hometown newspaper. Every last means of accountability had to be used against the syndicate, and I'm very grateful for you lawsuit.
Dear Daniel, All I can say is thank you and bless you for your heroism, your commitment to this country and your eloquent devotion and bravery. You and your friends and colleagues are the true American heroes. We saw with our own eyes what happened that day. We must all follow your lead in speaking out against this fantastical and truly demonic narrative that others are trying to put forth.
I think of the video T**** posted following the first No Kings national protest , where he was literally raining bombs of feces on non violent protesters. A perfect image, authored by the President of the United States himself, of what he is doing to our nation.
Powerful, Danny. Powerful. It will be a spectacular triumph when the plaque is placed in its rightful place.
I believe that I will always be in awe of law enforcement putting down the violent insurrection on J6 without firing a singe shot in self-defense. I think about often. It’s the thing that brings me the most hope.
I commend you for your commitment to protecting our democracy, Danny.
May you be successful in this activity, though it will not be easy.
The saying goes that a lie travels halfway around the world before truth gets on its feet. Though slow, truth does get on its feet and walks slowly but steadily, and that is when the lies fight back harder than ever.
Still, the truth is worth defending and fighting for. In the end, the truth will win.
I just sent a letter to Senator Tillis (one of my senators) asking him to follow up with this project. I included an excerpt from your excellent essay. Thank you, Daniel, for your perseverance. This is a “lest we forget” moment.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. God bless you and thank you for your service, your fight for the protection of those in the Congress that day, and the Capitol Building. And BLESS YOU and thank you for speaking up and working to right this egregious wrong! It has long broken my heart to see that plaque lying on the floor in the basement of the Capitol. It is something so physically small that carries an impact so gigantic and so right and so good and so blessed - SHAME on the architect and those who would prevent this from being in its rightful proud place. Love you, bless you and praying for you!!!

Yes: It is our very memories, which are being destroyed and contorted.
Thank you Dan. Thanks for standing up, for fighting the good fight, on Jan 6th and still in this moment. Very much appreciate your courage.
