it is my profound honor and duty to posthumously award Officer and Salter with the medal of Honor for his sheer bravery and taking on the face of evil in order to save lives. Aaron saved lives. Okay, Officer Salter also showed true leadership by taking charge during this horrific incident that got people to safety. It is that take charge type of action that set him apart on May 14, which was *** demonstration of leadership. I am also honored to posthumously promote Officer Darren Salter to the rank of lieutenant. Thanks *** lot. Lieutenant Aaron Salter will always be remembered as *** loving husband, father friend. And now lieutenant who showed true bravery in the face of evil. God bless all 10 families and the three surviving victims of this senseless act of gun violence and God bless you baldy texas community. He had *** tremendous laugh and it would light up the building because that would be on the other side of the building and I would hear him, he had *** big heart and he was *** good person. He was *** quintessential officer and *** gentleman. When I received the call on May 14 immediately I understood that my brother and I would no longer be able to create new memories which is something friends and brothers do all the time. And as I've discovered since I got the call, there's one thing to experience personal grief and quite another to experience personal grief. That is part of *** national cultural war. That to be candid has been going on for years with no end in sight. Mm hmm. Mhm. He's working all right.
