Were still depending on it today. At some point you run out of some of the capacity and steam that you had to do the job that needs to be done. But we see these heroes continue to step up. Some giving their lives. In bill in birmingham and kansas city was an emergency medical technician. He was with the Kansas City Fire Department and he died of coronavirus in april. His son described billy as selfless. He said billy had decided he wanted to find new ways to help people and so he reinvented himself as an e. M. T. When he was in his 40s so he could help others and then he was an e. M. T. For about 22 years. We see the Emergency Medical Technicians, the First Responders out there saving lives, bringing people in a desperate

Than our adversaries. More than the most populous nations and those with mere fractions of our wealth and power. And more, so many more than the nation where this virus originated.

The president pro tempore please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance. I
