                    THREE GEORGIA RESERVISTS KILLED

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on January 28 of this 
year, three patriotic Americans, Specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 
Sergeant William Jerome Rivers, and Specialist Breonna Alexsondria 
Moffett, Georgia Army reservists, were murdered by an Iranian drone 
attack in Jordan by Iranian puppet Hezbollah. Sadly, on June 27, Biden 
denied their deaths.
  On March 13, I sent a letter requesting the level of severity and 
number of injured in that attack. On July 19, nearly 4 months later by 
delay, the response was that with these three courageous American 
reservists from Georgia, an additional 74 servicemembers were injured, 
including 68 diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries.

  These deaths must not be forgotten. We must achieve peace through 
strength, not wars through weakness.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who have successfully protected 
America for 20 years in the global war on terrorism as it moves from 
the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
  We don't need new border laws. We need to enforce the existing border 
laws. Harris shamefully opened the borders for dictators as more 9/11 
attacks across America are imminent, as repeatedly warned by the FBI.
  Our sympathy to the family of Dr. Barbara Nielsen, the late State 
superintendent of education of South Carolina.
