Julio had experienced a seizure and by acting quickly she was able to 
bring the boy to safety.
  Codi Vachon is to be commended for her selfless actions. As long as 
we have such dedicated citizens, our nation will continue to be strong. 
Codi exemplifies the ideals of a Granite Stater. It is an honor and 
privilege to represent her in the U.S. Senate.
