                     HONORING OUR COURAGEOUS NURSES

  (Mr. BENTIVOLIO asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BENTIVOLIO. Mr. Speaker, you can always identify them in a crowd 
wearing blue, green, pink, and yellow, and sometimes wearing a white 
coat. They have wings on their backs and many times a tired, tilted 
halo over their heads. The often miss holidays and similar events with 
family and friends. They work during times the rest of us sleep 24/7. 
They are educators who provide a concerned ear and empathetic heart, a 
smile supported by professionalism, and an unmatched sense of selfless 
service for those in need. They are angels of mercy.
  May God bless our courageous nurses, and especially this week.
  Mr. Speaker, may I say to that special nurse in my life: I love you.
