the prestigious Valor Award by the Northern Virginia Chamber of 
Commerce.
   This is the 41st Annual Valor Awards sponsored by the Northern 
Virginia Chamber of Commerce. This event honors the remarkable heroism 
and bravery in the line of duty exemplified by our public safety 
officers. Our public safety and law enforcement personnel put their 
lives on the line every day to keep our families and neighborhoods 
safe. This year's ceremony will present 123 awards to recognize 
extraordinary actions above and beyond the call of duty in a variety of 
categories including the Lifesaving Certificate, the Certificate of 
Valor, and the Bronze and Silver Medal of Valor.
   PSC III Bradley T. Philpott is being awarded the Certificate of 
Valor this year for his exceptional service in the performance of his 
duties. It is with great pride that I include his name in the Record.
   Madam Speaker, I congratulate the 2019 Valor Award Recipients, and 
thank all of the men and women who serve in the Department of Public 
Safety Communications. Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of 
our community, are selfless acts of heroism and truly merit our highest 
praise. I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding this group of 
remarkable citizens.
