Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of National Military Appreciation Month.

This month, we pause to honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces, past and present, who have worn the uniform of the United States of America.

Our military has stood for freedom throughout our history in times of peace and peril. They do not ask for recognition. They do not serve for applause. They serve because they believe in something bigger than themselves. They serve out of duty, honor, and love of country.

This month is to remember our POWs and MIAs, to support our Gold Star families, to stand with our veterans, and to thank those currently serving.

Mr. Speaker, we stand by our veterans, and we reaffirm our duty to provide our servicemembers with the support they have earned, both in uniform and after.

May God protect our servicemembers and their families this month and every month. We honor and thank them. We will never forget their service and their sacrifice.
