Mr. D'ESPOSITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which is being observed through the end of September.

During this period of reflection, Americans from coast to coast honor our Nation's youngest warriors in their battle against pediatric cancer and recommit themselves to finding a cure for such a terrible disease.

One of those young warriors is a 1-year-old, Cooper Graham, of Oceanside, New York, who is fighting the good fight at such a young age.

Cooper is a tough little guy, always with a smile. I know that all Long Islanders are standing in solidarity with him in his fight right alongside Cooper's parents, Michael and Rachel, as well as his big sister, Rylie.

During Cancer Awareness Month, we are all Coop's troops, and we are going to stand with Cooper and all pediatric cancer warriors through thick and thin.

Cooper, if you are listening back home, we all remain Coop strong.
