Speakers at a Fresno County dedication honored 21 service members who died in the line of duty and dedicated a memorial on behalf of their families.

"Today, we're here to show our respect and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives in the line of duty, and to always remember that they are the reason that this memorial was built," Speaker 1, an unspecified speaker, said at the event.

"This is about the 21 who gave all and their families. And not only will we never forget, but we will always remember. And with this, I'm dedicating this memorial for all the people of Fresno County," Speaker 2, an unspecified speaker, said.

Speaker 3, an unspecified speaker, acknowledged the personal loss experienced by family members: "I know what you would want is rather than be sitting in those chairs today to have your loved one back, but it's not to be. So we're dedicating this on behalf of 21 Gold Star families of our fallen." The phrase "loved one" corrects a transcript typographical error in the original recording.

No formal votes or policy actions were recorded in the provided transcript. The remarks in the record were ceremonial and focused on remembrance and the families of the fallen.
