  Mr. DAVIS of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of my 
Virginia colleagues Frank Wolf and James Moran 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 Vienna Police Department have 
earned this highest honor that Fairfax County bestows upon its public 
safety officials.
  There are several types of Valor Awards that can be awarded to a 
public safety officer: the Life Saving Award, the Certificate of Valor, 
or the Gold, Silver, or Bronze Medal of Valor.
  It is with great pride that we enter into the record the names of the 
recipients of the 2008 Valor Awards in the Vienna Police Department. 
Receiving the Life Saving Award: Sergeant Anthony R. Clingerman, Master 
Police Officer Jared B. Evans, Master Police Officer J. Michael Oliver, 
Master Police Officer H. Trent Nelson; the Silver Medal: Sergeant 
Anthony R. Clingerman.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, we would like to take this opportunity to 
thank all the men and women who serve in the Vienna Police Department. 
Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of Fairfax County, are 
selfless acts of heroism and truly merit our highest praise. We ask our 
colleagues to join us in applauding this group of remarkable citizens.
