A memorial plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was quietly installed in the early hours of Saturday, almost three years after Congress first ordered its installation.
The large bronze plaque, to “honor the women and men who saved the lives of those inside the building” during the violent insurrection, was put up at around 4 a.m., according to The Washington Post, which was the first outlet to report the news.
