“Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National Roofing Contractors Association headquartered in ltasca, Illinois, and its efforts to designate the week of June 7 to 13, 2026, as National Roofing Week. The roof is one of the most important components of any home or business. It is the first line of defense against natural elements, such as rain, snow or wind, and yet it is often taken for granted until it falls into disrepair. National Roofing Week honors the thousands of roofing-related businesses and workers across the country, as well as the industry's commitment to public service. National Roofing Week is a valuable reminder of the significance quality roofing has on every home and business in the U.S. [[Page E429]] Established in 1886, NRCA is one of the Nation's oldest trade associations and the voice of professional roofing contractors worldwide. NRCA has nearly 4,000 roofing company members who represent the entire roofing supply chain. Using its vast network of roofing contractors and industry-related members, NRCA is responsible for the installation of new construction and replacement roof systems on commercial and residential structures in America. Most of its members are small, privately held businesses that provide family-sustaining jobs for thousands of hardworking individuals who are the backbone of our economy. Professional roofing contractors provide vital services to their communities, on and off the clock. NRCA members will recognize National Roofing Week June 7 to 13, 2026, by supporting numerous charitable projects, employee training programs and other activities across the Nation. I commend NRCA and the vital role the organization and its members play in every community, and I ask my colleagues to join me in acknowledging their contributions during National Roofing Week. ____________________”

“Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life, service, and sacrifice of Chicago Police Officer John Bartholomew who gave his life in the line of duty. Officer Bartholomew embodied the very best of public service. Each day, he served Illinois with a commitment not only to uphold the law, but to safeguard the dignity, safety, and well-being of every member of his community. His courage was not defined by a single moment, but by a long career marked by acts of bravery, compassion, and integrity. In neighborhoods across Chicago, Officer Bartholomew was a trusted presence, a source of reassurance, and a symbol of stability. Whether responding to emergencies or building relationships with the community, he carried out his duties with professionalism and humanity. His loss is felt deeply not only by his fellow officers, but by the countless individuals whose lives he touched. We must also recognize the profound sacrifice made by his family, who shared him with a profession that demands so much and carries severe risk. Their grief is shared by an entire city and state that will not forget Officer Bartholomew's service. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Officer John Bartholomew. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forward his legacy of service and courage. ____________________”

“Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Independent Grocers Alliance. Founded in 1926 by Chicago entrepreneur J. Frank Grimes, IGA began with a bold and simple vision: to bring together independent grocery stores under one banner to provide local communities with quality products, fair prices, and personalized service. Over the past century, that vision has grown into a powerful global alliance of thousands of independently owned grocery stores serving towns and cities across America and around the world. From its earliest days, IGA has embodied the spirit of Main Street America: entrepreneurial, community-minded, and deeply committed to service. Its member stores are often family-owned businesses that have supported local jobs, sponsored youth sports teams, and supplied fresh food to rural and urban neighborhoods alike. Through wars, economic downturns, and changing retail trends, IGA retailers have continued to adapt, innovate, and thrive. Today, as the grocery industry evolves through technology and shifting consumer needs, IGA's enduring commitment to local ownership and community engagement remains as strong as ever. The alliance's focus on innovation, local food and support for local businesses, and customer care ensures that independent grocers will continue to play a vital role in our Nation's food system for the next hundred years. I am proud to join my colleagues in celebrating this milestone and in recognizing IGA's century-long dedication to the people and places that define America's Main Streets. I extend my warmest congratulations to the Independent Grocers Alliance on its 100th anniversary and wish continued success for many years to come. ____________________”
