                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 24, 1998

  Mr. McINTOSH. Mr. Speaker, I would like to share a heroic story with 
my colleagues and the American people which took place in New Castle, 
Indiana. Sergeant Brad Brown, going beyond the call of duty, risked his 
life to save an eighty-three year old woman from a burning building in 
Henry County. The fact that the woman he saved was incapacitated at the 
time gives added weight to the heroism of Sergeant Brown. The 
dedication and bravery of Sergeant Brown is an example of the character 
which is needed to make a difference in our local communities. 
Individuals like Sergeant Brown make towns like New Castle safer places 
to live. I commend Sergeant Brad Brown for his actions and his service. 
Thank you for the role you have played in making our community a better 
place.
