  CONGRATULATING TREVOR LOGAN AND TERRY LAMBERT ON THEIR SPRINGFIELD 
                POLICE DEPARTMENT CITIZEN SERVICE HONORS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 9, 2015

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Trevor Logan on 
being awarded the Springfield Police Department's Citizen Service Medal 
and Terry Lambert on being awarded the Springfield Police Department's 
Citizen Service Commendation for their actions on the morning of August 
2, 2015.
  On that morning both men witnessed an individual drag a woman into an 
alley and attempt to sexually assault her. Terry, believing officers 
were just down the street, quickly rushed to alert them of what he had 
observed. However, Terry was unable to locate any officers, so he 
returned to the alley. Before he had returned, Trevor had verbally 
confronted the suspect and the suspect began to flee. While Trevor 
continued to assist the victim, Terry followed the suspect and helped 
officers locate him.
  Trevor Logan and Terry Lambert stopped a crime in progress and 
assisted officers in apprehending and identifying the suspect. Through 
their actions, both of these men exemplified what it means to be a 
responsible, upstanding citizen. This example of selflessness and 
commitment to protecting one's community that these men have embodied 
is one which we should all strive for.
  Mr. Speaker, Trevor Logan and Terry Lambert deserve this body's 
utmost respect for heroic actions on the morning of August 2, 2015, and 
I extend to both of them my deepest appreciation for their dedication 
to ensuring the safety of their community. Their efforts have not only 
contributed greatly to the Springfield community, but have made me 
proud to serve the people of Missouri's seventh Congressional District.
