And still I rise and I rise today, again, in the name of liberty and justice for all. More specifically, liberty and justice for Ralph Yarl and Kaylin Gillis as promised in our Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Speaker, earlier today in making a floor speech concerning these two persons who were victims of gun violence, I incorrectly indicated that both lost their lives. Miraculously, Mr. Yarl did not lose his life for which I am grateful and for which I want to make the Record clear. I want people to know that if I make a mistake, I am going to correct my mistake in the same venue where I made it. I made a mistake, and I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to correct it. ____________________
