The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia held an awards ceremony on Friday in the Great Hall of the Justice Department.

“There are few jobs more difficult than serving this office. Like an offensive tackle in football, our names aren’t going to be called out publicly unless something goes horribly wrong,” said U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen. “I want to say thank you and I want to tell you I appreciate everything you’ve done.”
