  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding group of men and women in Northern Virginia. The Fairfax 
County Chamber of Commerce annually recognizes individuals who have 
demonstrated superior dedication to public safety with the prestigious 
Valor Award. Several members of the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office 
have earned this highest honor that Fairfax County bestows upon its 
public safety officials.
  There are several types of Valor Awards that are awarded to a public 
safety officer: the Lifesaving Award, the Certificate of Valor, or the 
Gold, Silver, or Bronze Medal of Valor.
  It is with great pride that I enter into the Record the names of the 
recipients of the 2006 Valor Awards in the Fairfax County Sheriff's 
Office. Receiving the Lifesaving Award: Private First Class Nicole L. 
Arnett; Private First Class Laval L. Collins; Private First Class 
Clifton Cooley; Private First Class Michael D. Ford; Master Deputy 
Sheriff Marvin S. Johnston; Private First Class Thomas V. Kyle; 
Private/Deputy John J. Roth; Second Lieutenant Gregory E. Schossler; 
Deputy Ryan E. Tassey; the Certificate of Valor Award: Second 
Lieutenant Brian Johnston; Private First Class Teena M. Putman.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank all the men and women who serve in the Fairfax County Sheriff's 
Office. Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of Fairfax 
County, are selfless acts of heroism and truly merit our highest 
praise. I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding this group of 
remarkable citizens.
