In May, members of Girl Scout Troop 52062 from Burke, VA--accompanied by their troop leaders and parents--made a visit to the US Capitol to express their gratitude to their Hometown Heroes, the US Capitol Police (USCP).
Troop 52062 made a heartfelt decision to recognize USCP as their Hometown Heroes, motivated by the unwavering support the law enforcement agency extended to one of their own, Abigail Evans. In 2021, Abigail lost her father in the line of duty. After such a tragic loss, Abigail faced her challenges head-on and found that the support from her community helped her navigate through grief and come out stronger on the other side.
