                   RECOGNIZING PUBLIC SAFETY AIRCREWS

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize a group of 
unsung heroes who help keep our country and communities safe.
  Public safety aircrews fly every day across the Nation to ensure the 
safety of our domestic airspace, often in very hazardous conditions. 
They also support first responders during disaster response and rescue 
missions throughout the country.
  We honor the commitment of those public servants, both past and 
present, and recognize that some have made the ultimate sacrifice. It 
is only fitting that a day be set aside to honor the thousands of 
public servants, both past and present, who have served.
  To this end, I introduce H. Res. 991, to recognize June 26 of each 
year as National Public Safety Aviation Day.
