  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Lifeguard Lieutenants Courtney Hutchens and Madeline Solano and 
Lifeguards Beatty Barnes and Robert Warren for their excellent 
emergency response during an emergency on September 1, 2018, in Ocean 
View, Norfolk, Virginia.
  Each lifeguard recognized the situation and responded promptly with 
the proper treatment the injured swimmer needed. They met the proper 
protocol and fulfilled the action plans required for an emergency.
  Because of their exceptional and rapid response, these lifeguards 
received the 2018 Dr. Frank Pia Lifesaving Award from the Virginia 
Lifeguard Association Annual Aquatic Management Symposium. This is a 
great honor.
  I am sincerely thankful that Virginia has lifeguards like them to 
watch over and guard our Commonwealth. I am confident our beaches are a 
safer place because of their presence.
