• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Senate Unanimously Passes Bill Awarding Capitol Police With Medals of Honor for January 6


I think they would prefer the people there on Jan. 6 get prosecuted. Plus the people who paid for it, the people that got the crowd riled up, and the republicans that were involved. Let not forget TRUMP and anyone who made speeches to incite the violence.

Actually they're getting the Congressional Gold Medal. Newsweek was mistaken.

Legislation to honor the Capitol Police and Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department with Congressional Gold Medals — in recognition of their heroism in protecting members of Congress from pro-Trump rioters on Jan. 6 — is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.

The Senate passed, by unanimous consent, a bill that would provide four Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police and those who protected the Capitol during the attack. The medals will be displayed at the Capitol Police headquarters, Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, the Smithsonian Institution and the Capitol.

The House passed the bill in June on a 406-21 vote.

Congressional Gold Medals are given to people or institutions as Congress’ “highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions,” as the House historian’s website puts it.
