                          AMERICA SUPPORTS YOU

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, as our troops fight the war on 
terror, it is imperative that we show our appreciation for all of their 
sacrifices, their efforts and their courage. As Secretary Rumsfeld 
said, ``Our country is proud of every member of our Armed Forces, and 
we are deeply grateful for those who have sacrificed for the cause of 
liberty.''
  Many Americans want to thank our troops; they just do not know how. 
There is a great program that America should know about. It is called 
America Supports You. It is a nationwide program run by the Department 
of Defense to recognize and communicate support by citizens for our 
military men and women. The program highlights many ways that Americans 
can get involved and join in the support effort. By going to 
www.AmericaSupportsYou.mil, you can donate frequent flier miles to 
provide tickets to hospitalized soldiers and their families, provide 
prepaid phone cards so their family members can keep in touch or just 
write a letter of gratitude.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time we showed the troops how much we care. With 
the 4th of July approaching, let us take time to show our appreciation 
and give back to those who have made so many sacrifices for us and for 
our liberty.
  AmericaSupportsYou.mil lets all Americans say thanks.
