 HONORING THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO DIED AT THE ROUTE 91 HARVEST FESTIVAL

  (Ms. ROSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ROSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of the 58 
innocent souls who were taken on October 1.
  No words can describe the devastation and heartbreak my community 
experienced that night. So many families in Las Vegas and across the 
Nation are still grieving from this unspeakable tragedy, and their 
lives will never be the same.
  I am forever grateful to our first responders, medical professionals, 
hotel and security staff, and the kindness of strangers who helped the 
wounded to the hospital and stood in line for hours to donate blood.
  We will never forget the selfless and heroic acts by men and women 
who risked it all and gave their lives for others that night.
  As we continue to heal, what we have always known about our community 
remains true: We are Vegas strong; we are resilient; and even in our 
darkest hour, we come together united.
