                  CELEBRATING NATIONAL PHARMACISTS DAY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of a very 
important day we are celebrating today, National Pharmacists Day.
  Today we take time to recognize and appreciate all of our 
communities' pharmacists and everything that they do for their 
patients.
  During the pandemic, pharmacists joined with the frontline workers to 
help alleviate the pandemic by distributing lifesaving medicines to 
their patients.
  Pharmacists are an integral part of each and every community. They 
keep people safe and healthy.
  As a pharmacist, I am proud to take time today to recognize and honor 
my colleagues nationwide. In a world where our frontline workers are 
heroes, we must not forget those who bond with their patients and 
ensure lifesaving and correct dosages are being distributed properly.
  I am proud of my time spent as a pharmacist, and I am very grateful 
for my colleagues and what they do to better their communities.
  Take time today to thank your local pharmacist and appreciate all 
that they do. Thank you all for your service to our towns, our cities, 
and our States.
