                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
outstanding members of the Dale City Volunteer Fire Department. These 
individuals have demonstrated superior dedication to public safety and 
have been awarded the prestigious Valor Award by the Prince William 
Regional Chamber of Commerce.
  The Valor Awards recognize remarkable heroism and bravery in the line 
of duty exemplified by our public safety agencies and their commitment 
to the community. Our public safety and law enforcement personnel put 
their lives on the line everyday to keep our families and neighborhoods 
safe.
  Two members of the Dale City Volunteer Fire Department are being 
honored this year for their exceptional service. It is with great pride 
that I submit their names into the Congressional Record:
  Recipients of the 2010 Bronze Valor Award are: Sergeant Joe McCann 
and Firefighter Aaron Kollmorgen.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank all of the men and women who serve in the Dale City Volunteer 
Fire Department. Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of 
Prince William County, are selfless acts of heroism and truly merit our 
highest praise. I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding this group 
of remarkable citizens.
