“I rise to speak today in recognition of the noble truck drivers across the Nation. For the past 2 weeks, our truckers have been valiant in their service to this country, delivering important supplies to the attack sites of New York City and Arlington, VA. Many of these truckers have been volunteering time, equipment, and use of their vehicles to supply these areas in efforts of relief, regardless of the escalating gas prices throughout the country. This is a commendable act, as airlines have been shut down and delivery has been severely restricted, truckers have responded to the call of America. I commend the work performed by this industry. We have often heard about those on the front line, but not of those in the shadows, holding part of America's infrastructure intact with their service. I say thank you to the hardworking men and women of the trucking industry who continue to contribute to the relief effort throughout the country.”
