 MOMENT OF SILENCE MOURNING THOSE KILLED IN TERRORIST ATTACK AT NAVAL 
               AIR STATION PENSACOLA ON DECEMBER 6, 2019

  (Mr. GAETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, I am joined here with members of the Florida, 
Georgia, and Alabama delegations because on December 6, in the early 
hours of the day, our Nation learned of a terrorist attack unfolding at 
Naval Air Station Pensacola. The attack took the lives of Ensign Joshua 
Kaleb Watson of Coffee County, Alabama; Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham 
of St. Petersburg, Florida; and Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters 
of Richmond Hill, Georgia.
  We congregate here today to honor the memory of those who lost their 
lives and those who were wounded during the course of this egregious 
attack.
  Those who wear the uniform inspire the best within us because they 
are truly the best among us. They are our sons and daughters, our 
fathers and mothers. Last Friday, three of them were taken from us, and 
we shall not forget their names, or those who have been impacted by 
that terrible attack.
  I request all present, both on the floor and in the gallery, to rise 
for a moment of silence; and I am proud and honored to be joined by my 
colleagues.
