  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, in recognition of National Nurses Week, I'm 
proud to rise today and honor the East Texas nurses--both those who 
have retired and those who are still practicing, who have dutifully 
served our community.
  For centuries, nurses have played a vital role in health care by 
dedicating countless hours of service to their patients and their 
patients' families--from providing quality care to their unparalleled 
sense of compassion for those in need.
  During the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, these heroes selflessly 
put themselves at the frontline of patient care, risking their own 
health while battling burnout and exhaustion.
  Nurses across East Texas have banded together to organize National 
Retired Nurses Day, in commemoration of their service and sacrifice. I 
am proud to support these nurses in their efforts.
  On behalf of Texas's First Congressional District, I would like to 
thank our nurses for their relentless commitment to serving their 
community and dedication to helping those in need.
