                      RECOGNIZING VINCENT GONZALEZ

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a member of 
our community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who was recently honored 
as a Red Cross hero.
  Last New Year's Eve, Vincent Gonzalez of Levittown sprang into action 
following a serious accident in which an impaired driver crashed his 
vehicle into the home of his neighbors Jim and Mary Albright.
  Vincent provided immediate assistance to Jim, who was seriously 
injured and was bleeding heavily from a sustained head wound.
  For the rest of that night, Vincent comforted Mary, who had to face 
the devastating reality of an injured husband, a damaged home, and the 
death of the family's beloved yellow lab because of this horrific 
incident.
  Today, Jim, who is fully recovered, refers to Vincent as his and 
Mary's ``guardian angel.'' I would like to honor Vincent for his quick 
thinking and selfless actions. I encourage all of my constituents to 
follow his lead and to look out for each other in times of crisis.


                       Recognizing Logan Killeen

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize a heroic young 
man who is already teaching our community in Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania, the values of respect and compassion.
  Logan Killeen of Fairless Hills was born with Treacher Collins 
syndrome, a rare disorder which affects facial bones and structure. 
Recently, Logan has undergone several surgeries to alleviate his 
condition, and he often wears a headband to assist with his hearing.
  In the fall, Logan will be starting kindergarten at Oxford Valley 
Elementary School. That school recently held an assembly in his honor 
to teach fellow students that, even though Logan may look different 
than they do, he is just like them.
  I commend Logan for his bravery, and I also commend Oxford Valley 
Elementary School as well. I want to commend both for their willingness 
to spread kindness to their peers and to our community.
  I would also like to recognize Logan's parents, Matt and Nicole 
Killeen, for raising such a fine young man and for all that they do for 
individuals facing this challenge.
