        TRIBUTE TO INDIAN ROCKS BEACH DEPUTIES AND FIREFIGHTERS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID W. JOLLY

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 11, 2016

  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the Indian Rocks 
Beach deputies and firefighters for their efforts in locating a missing 
girl, Emma, who was four years old.
  On April 23, 2016, Indian Rock Beach City Commissioner Cookie Kennedy 
and her family were enjoying themselves on the beach, when a man 
approached them asking for help looking for a little girl named Emma 
who was in town to visit and who was lost. No one knew where Emma had 
gone, but it was not long before the whole town joined in the search 
for her.
  The police and fire department worked tirelessly to find Emma, and 
with the help of the whole town, Emma was eventually found unharmed. 
Emma's mother, Jennifer Lewis, is extremely grateful to all of the 
residents of Indian Rocks Beach, and especially, the fast response of 
the police and fire departments.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the residents of Indian Rocks Beach for 
actively responding to their call for action. I am proud to serve as 
the Representative for this community and request that this body join 
me in recognizing their heroic actions.
