                          APPRECIATING POLICE

  (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, in recognition of National 
Police Week, Americans appreciate all officers while honoring those who 
were wounded or lost their lives in the line of duty.
  This year, we honor the following officers of South Carolina, who 
were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial wall: F. 
Devin Mason, Nathaniel M. Ansay, Will G. Durant, Michael Charles Wood, 
Dennis D. Ricks, Jr., and Mark S. Reynolds. They all served in the 
tradition of the late Greg Alia of Forest Acres.
  House Republicans stand alongside these courageous heroes. This week, 
there is legislation of commitment to those who serve our country, and 
we must restore law and order.
  Mr. Speaker, I respect my hometown police chief, Andrew ``Bear'' 
Richbourg of Springdale.
  God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Trump 
is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin 
lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump, shamefully breaking the 
victory day cease-fire.
  As war criminal Putin bombs civilian homes, Ukrainian parents provide 
their children at night with whistles to assist in recovery as Putin 
attacks their homes and murders children.
