                     NEW YORK'S RUN FOR THE FALLEN

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, it is vitally important to remember the 
sacrifices of America's fallen servicemembers and their families every 
day. Today I rise to recognize a special tribute to those who paid the 
ultimate sacrifice.
  This weekend, the New York Run for the Fallen will travel across the 
22nd District to pay homage to our Nation's fallen heroes. The run 
seeks to honor the families and the sacrifices of those who answered 
the call to serve our great Nation.
  Leading the charge in our community is Kristi Mangine, an advocate 
for our veterans and member of the

Colgate University community. She is also a core runner for the New 
York chapter and has recruited a number of members of our community to 
participate in this great tribute.
  The event is a 175-mile run across the State of New York, each mile 
representing one hero killed who served during the war on terror, 
including Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and 
Operation New Dawn.

  I would like to thank Kristi Mangine and those involved in this 
year's run for inviting me to participate in this important event to 
honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in our Nation's longest 
running overseas conflict.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to also join us, as well as any 
community members who have a moment to pick up a time slot for one of 
our fallen heroes and give them a special tribute to their sacrifice.
