              IN HONOR OF LANCE CORPORAL JAMES M. FERRARA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN H. ADLER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Lance Corporal James M. Ferrara who received the Navy and Marine Corps 
Achievement Medal for meritorious duty on March 13, 2010. While on duty 
as patrolman at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, Lance 
Corporal Ferrara was dispatched to the base motor pool after he 
received reports of an injured person. Without hesitation, Lance 
Corporal Ferrara rushed off to the scene and quickly identified the 
victim who was suffering from a severe laceration with substantial loss 
of blood. Drawing upon his extensive emergency medical training, Lance 
Corporal Ferrara immediately delivered first aid, and probably saved 
the victim's life.
  The men and women of our Armed Forces serve with an incomparable 
sense of duty. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to keep our 
country safe and free. In his service, Lance Corporal Ferrara 
exemplified the bravery and courage routinely displayed by those who 
serve in our military. The residents of New Jersey's Third District are 
grateful for the service of Lance Corporal Ferrara.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Lance 
Corporal Ferrara for his bravery and responsiveness under challenging 
circumstances.
