                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 28, 2018

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Master Trooper 
James Toon for receiving the Greater Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce's 
Public Safety Valor Award.
  A native of Whiteville, North Carolina, Master Trooper Toon moved to 
Fayetteville in 1989 where he was stationed at Fort Bragg while serving 
in the Army. After serving our country as a Demolition Sergeant, Master 
Trooper Toon joined the Fayetteville Police Department for three years 
before joining the North Carolina State Highway Patrol where he has 
served faithfully ever since.
  While Master Trooper Toon was off-duty traveling to downtown 
Fayetteville, he came across a car on fire. After pulling over to 
investigate, he noticed individuals trapped inside the burning vehicle. 
He was able to free one woman from the car, and because of his heroism, 
she made a full recovery. I want to thank Master Trooper Toon for his 
courage and valor in this heroic act.
  Master Trooper Toon is married to his wife Kimberly, and they have 
two wonderful children. I am extremely grateful for Master Trooper 
Toon's service to our community and I wish him continued success. The 
Valor Award is presented to those who execute extreme acts of heroism 
in order to save the lives of others in our community, and I can think 
of no more deserving recipient than Master Trooper Toon.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating Master Trooper James Toon 
on receiving the Greater Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce's Public 
Safety Valor Award.
