                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN K. DELANEY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2014

  Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize and honor Captain 
Christopher Mercer, USN, for his incredible courage and bravery on 
September 16, 2013 during the Navy Yard Shooting.
  Captain Mercer served admirably, as he both ensured the safety of 
himself and three others during the shooting, and helped the police in 
their efforts, all while trapped inside of his office in the Navy Yards 
Building 197. His incredible courage should not be left in vain.
  I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues help me in 
honoring Captain Christopher Mercer, USN, for his distinguished acts of 
courage during the Navy Yard Shooting on September 16, 2013. Captain 
Mercer is a hero for his acts on that day, and should be recognized for 
his remarkable bravery.
