                       Wednesday, March 24, 2010

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to three 
brave Boy Scouts. These young men--two brothers, Victor and Carlos 
Rosado of Madison, Alabama, and their cousin, Quinton Gundolf of 
Camden, Arkansas--were on a family vacation in Puerto Rico. They were 
enjoying themselves on the beach when they noticed a man struggling 
amid the waves. Without regard for their own safety, these young men 
bravely swam out to help the man to shore. It was clear that, without 
their intervention, this man would not have survived this harrowing 
experience. These young men acted bravely and decisively to save a 
life. Entering the water to help a man who is struggling for his life 
is a very dangerous undertaking indeed. However, the American Spirit is 
epitomized by such selfless acts. For that, I commend them and wish 
them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
