RECOGNIZING THE HEROISM OF RANDALL ``RANDY'' NORMAN OF HOLLEY, NEW YORK

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHRISTOPHER JOHN LEE

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 26, 2010

  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, I ask that the House join me in 
recognizing Mr. Randall ``Randy'' Norman of Holley, New York, for his 
selfless actions on February 14, 2009.
  On that day, while Randy was on his way to work, he saw Mary Silliman 
being attacked outside of Lakeside Hospital in Brockport, New York. 
While trying to help Silliman, Randy was shot and killed.
  Randy chose to protect others with little regard for his own safety. 
Had Randy not taken the actions he did, the community could have been 
subject to further terror.
  Randy has posthumously received The Stand Up Guy award for his heroic 
efforts to prevent bodily harm to a woman. He has also earned praise 
from many members of the community including Sergeant Mark Cuzzupoli 
who offered these kind words: ``I would definitely characterize him as 
a hero. As a person who tried to make a difference.''
  Madam Speaker, I ask that the House join me today in recognizing 
Randy Norman's selfless actions last February. We can all learn a lot 
from Randy's selflessness on that February day last year.
