                       Wednesday, April 27, 2022

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, today we recognize the 
exceptional members of the Military Medical Team completing a mission 
at Erie County Medical Center (ECMC).
  During their time in Buffalo, New York, this team of dedicated and 
talented physicians, nurses, respiratory technicians, and support 
members have extended great compassion, risked their own health, and 
provided life-saving care to our friends, family, and neighbors.
  Western New York was one of several deployments made by this unit 
through a Department of Defense effort providing assistance to civilian 
hospitals in over 100 cities across the nation since the COVID-19 
pandemic began.
  Time and again, members of the United States military answer the call 
when our country and our people are in need.
  Frontline healthcare workers here at ECMC and throughout the nation 
have made great sacrifices throughout the pandemic.
  We are deeply grateful to these members of the United States Navy for 
the expertise and support they provided during this national health 
emergency.
  Our community and country are healthier, safer and stronger thanks to 
their service.
