                       Tuesday, January 29, 2008

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the father and 
son team of Bill and Bradley Garr. I use the word, ``team'' because on 
the afternoon of June 29, 2007, their actions helped save the life of 
an automobile accident victim.
  On that day, as they were traveling along a Phoenix freeway, they 
witnessed a car go out of control and flip over. They were the first 
ones to stop to render aid to the seriously injured young woman who was 
driving. Due to the smoking engine and leaking gasoline, they needed to 
remove the woman from her car. They then used a fire extinguisher to 
make sure that a fire did not ensue. By the time fire and paramedics 
responded, the fire danger was over and the young woman was in a safe 
place.
  While many others kept driving, Bill made the decision to stop and 
help, and in so doing demonstrated to Bradley important values that 
will last a lifetime.
  I commend Bill and Bradley for their actions, and congratulate them 
on their selfless actions.
