                           WEAR RED WEDNESDAY

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, today is Wear Red Wednesday to 
bring back our girls.
  As millions here in America prepare for the holidays, we must think 
of the Nigerians whose celebrations will be tempered by fear and 
sorrow. Think of the Nigerian Christians fearful of fully celebrating 
Christmas and attending their places of worship, haunted by the Boko 
Haram Christmas Day church bombings of years past.
  Think of the families that were devastated 611 days ago by the 
kidnapping of the Chibok girls. For these families, Christmas is a 
sobering reminder that their precious sisters and daughters are gone.
  Please include these 219 girls and their families in your Christmas 
prayers this year. Pray that next year they will enjoy a peaceful and 
joyous Christmas together.
  Please continue to tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls. Tweet, 
tweet, tweet #joinrepwilson.
