                         Thursday, May 21, 2015

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mike White for the 
brave act of heroism he displayed while on the job this past November 
of 2014.
   Mike works as a United States Postal Service mail carrier in the 
Peoria, Illinois branch.
   This past November, Mike was going about his regular route when he 
noticed a woman on her front porch having a severe asthma attack. Mike 
tried to get her an inhaler and called 911 then did all he could to 
comfort the woman and care for her child while they waited for the 
ambulance to arrive. Thanks to his help, after a week of being 
hospitalized, the woman returned home in good health.
   On his next delivery to her home following the incident, the woman 
Mike aided ran over and gave him a hug, thanking him for all he had 
done to help her.
   Mr. Speaker, I commend Mike White and his willingness to go beyond 
the line of duty to help an individual in need. I thank Mike again for 
his service to our community.
