                RECOGNIZING MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH

  (Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico asked and was given 
permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend 
her remarks.)
  Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, throughout 
Military Appreciation Month, I join with my fellow Americans to 
remember the brave servicemen and -women who gave the ultimate 
sacrifice for this Nation and to honor the servicemembers who are still 
answering the call to duty today.
  New Mexico is the proud home of over 16,000 patriotic servicemembers, 
who operate the premier military installations at Kirtland, Cannon, and 
Holloman Air Force Bases, and the Army's White Sands Missile Range.
  Thank you for all that you do to keep our country safe and safeguard 
the freedoms and values that we all cherish.
  I also want to recognize the devoted spouses, children, sisters, 
brothers, and parents of our men and women in uniform for their 
unending support. This month is dedicated to their service as well.

  I hope everyone in this Chamber and those watching at home will take 
the time to thank a servicemember and their loved ones who continue to 
sacrifice so much for our country.
