Whereas, on June 21, 2017, Flint Bishop Airport Police Lieutenant Jeff Neville 
        was viciously attacked with a knife while on duty, sustaining serious 
        injury;
Whereas the heroic actions of Lt. Neville, who, despite being attacked, worked 
        to subdue the attacker to prevent further harm to other people;
Whereas other employees at Bishop International Airport, including maintenance 
        worker Rich Krul, Public Safety Chief Chris Miller, and Firefighter 
        Lieutenant Dan Owen, all assisted with the apprehension of the attacker;
Whereas the Bishop Airport public safety team members demonstrated that they 
        were prepared and willing to risk their own lives to ensure the safety 
        of other passengers at Bishop International Airport;
Whereas Public Safety Officers Michael Chilson and Christopher Tolin 
        administered first aid to stabilize Lt. Neville for transport to Hurley 
        Hospital;
Whereas the medical staff at Hurley Hospital provided quick and life-saving 
        medical care to Lt. Neville, allowing his full recovery;
Whereas the local Muslim community quickly condemned the attack and donated 
        financial resources toward Lt. Neville's medical bills;
Whereas law enforcement and first responders in Michigan bravely protected 
        people at Bishop Airport, resulting in no loss of life; and
Whereas the people of the United States stand in solidarity against all acts of 
        violence toward law enforcement officials: Now, therefore, be it
