             RECOGNIZING THE MISSION OF TUESDAY'S CHILDREN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Bacon) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BACON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an organization 
that works with children who have had their lives forever impacted by 
terrorism or traumatic loss.
  Whether it was a child who lost someone in 9/11 or a child who lost a 
parent serving in the military, Tuesday's Children has served over 
20,000 children since 2001 through trauma and grief support, youth 
mentoring, mental health services, youth leadership development, and so 
much more.
  Today is its annual Take Our Children to Work Day, a program that 
offers the opportunity for youth to see, up close and personal, what it 
is like to serve in Congress.
  Spending the day with me today are Spencer Hawn and Christopher 
Goodwin. They will be joining me at meetings and seeing what it is like 
behind the scenes of Capitol Hill.
  The work done by Tuesday's Children and other organizations in 
support of the children of our fallen is critical. As a Nation, we 
mourn the loss of lives lost to terrorists or traumatic events, but 
sometimes we forget the children of those who were tragically lost.
  I salute Tuesday's Children and its mission to give back to our 
wonderful youth.
