Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, this Military Appreciation Month, we honor those who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces and those who continue to wear it today.
with them and the American servicemembers currently standing watch in dangerous and uncertain places around the world. Every day, they choose duty to their country over comfort.
Virginia Honor Flight sendoff, standing by the veterans whose service helped shape our Nation's history and preserve the freedoms that we enjoy today.
we also need to ensure that our veterans receive the care that they deserve. This includes mental health support for those who carry the invisible wounds of war.
That is why I was proud to announce the Susan E. Lukas 9/11 Servicemembers Fairness Act to extend PACT Act benefits to those who returned to work in the Pentagon following the 9/11 attacks before it was safe.

service. It is also about honoring those that still serve today, supporting veterans who sacrificed so much for this country, and making sure America keeps its promises to the people willing to risk everything to defend it.
Uyghur Forced Labor
Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, for years, the People's Republic of China has carried out and operated a vast network of forced labor against ethnic minorities.
More must be done to combat this practice of forced labor. The Uyghur community in my district has told me terrible stories of family and friends in China being forced to work long, strenuous hours or face brutal punishment or torture in detention camps.
Unfortunately, many U.S. companies purchase products produced by these forced labor camps. Many Americans don't understand that our phones, clothes, and daily products could all have parts made from that forced labor without us even knowing.
The bill is straightforward. It requires companies to review and disclose whether any of their products have been produced with Uyghur forced labor. The American people deserve to know if what they buy is a result of forced labor, and this legislation is a step towards stopping those terrible practices.
Jinping, he must take this opportunity to highlight human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities during this trip.
Let's put an end to forced labor and pass this bill.
Recognizing National Police Week
Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize National Police Week.

including all of our men and women who serve in our town and county sheriff's offices and police departments all across northern Virginia and Shenandoah.
officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, like Ashley Guindon, a Prince William County officer who was shot and killed on her first day 10 years ago.
Every year, an average of 57 police officers are killed by suspects. Far too many, at least 184 public safety officers, die by suicide each year.
to support our commitment to law enforcement officials and their families. It takes all of us to keep them safe too.
I thank all of law enforcement out there.
