                    SHOOTINGS IN CARSON CITY, NEVADA

  (Mr. PALAZZO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 11 victims of the 
shooting in Carson City, Nevada, including five of my fellow National 
Guardsmen.
  As a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard, I have the utmost 
respect for what these men and women do on a daily basis and the trials 
and tribulations that go along with being a citizen soldier. They risk 
danger and loss of life every time they put on the uniform. They should 
not have to face danger in their own backyards.
  Unfortunately, the sacrifices that many of these soldiers and their 
families make for our country go largely unnoticed by many Americans. I 
hope that my colleagues in the House will join me in commending the 
work our National Guard does every day both here and overseas.
  I hope for a quick recovery for all of those injured, and my thoughts 
and

prayers go out to the families of the members that were killed by this 
senseless act of violence.
