Capitol Plaque Honors Police Three Years After Jan. 6
A plaque honoring the officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021, siege has been installed, three years after it was mandated by law. The marker, placed near the site of intense fighting, bears a message of gratitude for the officers’ heroism. Its installation followed delays and a unanimous Senate vote, with some officers involved in the defense expressing that the current placement and method of listing names do not fully comply with the original law, leading to continued legal action.
