                          Friday, July 2, 2021

  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize our fine men and 
women from the Ohio National Guard who have risen to a challenge on the 
home front as our communities wrestle with the effects of the COVID-19 
pandemic. When our local foodbanks began to see increases in people 
needing food to feed themselves and their families, even as the 
pandemic imposed restrictions on staff and volunteers to help, we were 
able to work with the Ohio National Guard to send units to help 
distribute food to our neighbors. This food has been a lifeline to 
those served, who through no fault of their own, were left jobless, 
without funds, unsure of the future, and hungry.
  Truly, the Ohio National Guard lives up to its motto, ``Always ready! 
Always there!'' and we cannot thank them enough for their compassionate 
and brave service.
