       AMERICAN FRONTLINE WORKERS HAVE ANSWERED THE CALL OF DUTY

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Madam Speaker, throughout American history, generations 
of American frontline workers have answered the call of duty to support 
our Nation, States, and local communities.
  From those in the factories who fueled the Allied advance in World 
War II to the men and women who cleared the rubble after the attacks on 
September 11, there is a strong, storied reference that comes with 
being a frontline worker.
  Today, across Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District and America, 
our nurses, doctors, and healthcare providers are answering that call 
of duty.
  In the face of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and global uncertainty, 
our healthcare professionals have not wavered in their mission, 
exemplifying compassion, determination, and resilience. Most 
importantly, our healthcare workers have given our Nation reassurance 
that we can defeat this virus.
  To PA-12's frontline healthcare workers at Evangelical Community 
Hospital, UPMC, Geisinger, Endless Mountains, Bucktail Medical, Robert 
Packer, Guthrie Towanda Memorial, Troy Community, Divine Providence, 
Mount Nittany, Barnes-Kasson, and Tyler Memorial, I know your job is 
not easy, but your impact is felt throughout our community and across 
our Nation. Please know that we are forever grateful for your service.
