                            ARMED FORCES DAY

  (Mr. MOYLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOYLAN Mr. Speaker, with Armed Forces Day approaching on 
Saturday, I rise to honor our military, their families, and our 
veterans who defend American security, American prosperity, and 
American values.
  On the ground, in the air, and at sea, millions of Americans bravely 
protect and defend our country around the world.
  Back home in my district, the island of Guam, we have the highest per 
capita statistics of enlistment numbers in the Nation and is home for 
over 15,000 military veterans.
  Our island heavily relies on our military personnel for security as 
we are the closest U.S. soil to China and as tensions rise from the 
Chinese Communist Party in the Indo-Pacific region. We are grateful for 
our military, for their readiness, and for the sacrifices they make to 
protect our home, the island of Guam.
  I thank our servicemembers and wish them a happy Armed Forces Day.
