I am prepared to close, and let me say in closing what a pleasure it is to work with my friend from Guam on this bill to recognize our merchant mariners. I thank my friend from New York (Mr. Suozzi) who has the privilege every day of representing the Merchant Marine Academy on Long Island. Let's come together as a Congress and support this important effort to recognize those who gave so much to save the world and make the world safe for democracy. We couldn't have done it without our merchant marines and their bravery across the seas. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
