                      TRIBUTE TO MaKENZIE SHEEHAN

 Ms. HASSAN. Madam President, I am proud to recognize second 
grader MaKenzie Sheehan of Monroe, NH, as the May Granite Stater of the 
Month for her bravery and quick thinking that helped save her family 
when their house caught on fire recently.
  On the night of the fire, MaKenzie woke to a crash in her bedroom, 
and when she saw a wall of fire, she quickly acted to wake her sister. 
Remembering from her fire education at school that the door would be 
hot, she knew not to touch it and began screaming for help. Her cries 
alerted the rest of the family, and they were able to make it out just 
in time.
  Her family is very proud and grateful for MaKenzie's grace under 
pressure and considers her their hero.

  I am honored to recognize MaKenzie as the May Granite Stater of the 
Month. MaKenzie represents the strength of character that defines the 
Granite State, and her actions are an excellent reminder that, no 
matter our age, it is critical that we are equipped with the knowledge 
of what to do in case of an emergency.
