                          AMERICAN HEART MONTH

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, February is American 
Heart Month, a month where we especially recognize and promote positive 
heart health.
  Currently, 302,000 people in South Carolina have coronary heart 
disease. I am thankful for the great work of the National Coalition for 
Women with Heart Disease and the American Heart Association for their 
steps to spread awareness about heart disease, the number one killer of 
men and women in America.
  I am grateful that, in the Second Congressional District, we have 
many incredible events to recognize heart health, including the Heart 
Walk, held in Aiken and the Midlands. These walks raise critical funds 
to help save lives from heart disease.
  As a volunteer with the Lexington County Heart Association, I know 
firsthand of the dedicated personnel. I appreciate American Heart 
Association Executive Director Crystal Kirkland of the Midlands and 
Jackie Lipscomb of the American Heart Association-CSRA.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Congratulations, President Donald Trump, for your deserved 
exoneration.
