                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 22, 2008

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
a distinguished young man from my district, Mr. Daniel Brinson.
  Daniel, a Montgomery native, is currently a sophomore at Auburn 
University and a member of the Nu Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. In 
late September of 2007, Daniel was traveling with a friend, Terrell 
Webb, when the pair came upon an accident. Both cars involved were in 
flames off the side of the roadway. Daniel and his companion approached 
the vehicles and heard cries for help. In an act of selfless courage 
Brinson and Webb forced their way into one of the cars and pulled one 
of the occupants, a young woman, away from danger. The young woman has 
since overcome serious injuries to make a full recovery.
  Mr. Brinson's unflinching willingness to risk his safety to help 
others is an example for all Alabamians. I salute Daniel for his 
service to his neighbors, and wish him the best in his future 
endeavors.
