Tonight we are going to be taking some time to talk about life. I know today on the floor of the people's House we observed the one millionth death from COVID. When I came to work today, I saw that the flags were at half-mast, and I didn't know why they were at half-mast, and then I found out why. It was because we were observing the loss of life during the time of COVID-19. Loss of life is always a critical issue in the people's House and in the United States of America. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller), my good friend from the 12th Congressional District and the young man who I stood with today as we did take that moment to observe the one millionth death.
