MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 77 (Thursday, May 8, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 77 (Thursday, May 8, 2025)] [House] [Page H1922] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH (Mr. DOWNING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. DOWNING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Military Appreciation Month. Being an Air Force veteran myself, I understand the sacrifices that are made every day by this Nation's men and women who serve in our Armed Forces. These sacrifices aren't just borne by our servicemembers but also by their families who support them and by their children who are left at home while we send them into harm's way to defend this great country and all that she represents. To my brothers and sisters in arms in Montana and across this great Nation, I thank them. I thank them for taking the watch. I thank them for defending this Nation. I thank them for protecting us. They bring honor upon themselves. They bring honor upon their families, their communities, and to these great United States of America. ____________________
