The official plaque honoring law enforcement who defended the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, is missing. It was supposed to be displayed at the Capitol, but its whereabouts are unknown. The plaque was created by over 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, who wanted to commemorate the moment.
The January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was a pivotal moment in American history. On that day, a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, leading to violence and the deaths of several people. In response, lawmakers created a plaque to honor the police officers who risked their lives to defend democracy.
The plaque's disappearance raises questions about its fate and why it was not displayed as intended. The Capitol's officials have not publicly disclosed the plaque's location, but it is believed to be in storage. The incident highlights the ongoing debate about how to commemorate and learn from the events of January 6, 2021.
