                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 17, 2012

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding group of men and women in Northern Virginia. These 
individuals have demonstrated superior dedication to public safety and 
have been awarded the prestigious Valor Award by the Fairfax County 
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 every day to keep our families and 
neighborhoods safe. More than 100 individuals are receiving much 
deserved awards in a variety of categories including: The Lifesaving 
Award, the Certificate of Valor, and the Bronze or Silver Medal of 
Valor.
  Two members of the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office are being honored 
this year for their exceptional service. It is with great pride that I 
submit the names of the following award recipients into the 
Congressional Record:
  2012 Bronze Medal of Valor Recipient: Private First Class Naftali 
Jacob
  2012 Certificate of Valor Recipient: MDS Kathleen Holohan
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the 2012 Valor Award Recipients, and 
thank each of the men and women who serve in the Fairfax County 
Sheriff's Office. Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of 
Fairfax 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.
