  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
group of men and women in Northern Virginia. These individuals have 
demonstrated superior dedication to public safety and have been awarded 
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.
   Two members of the Town of Herndon Police Department are being 
honored this year for their exceptional service. It is with great pride 
that I include in the Record the names of the following Valor Award 
Recipients:
   Lifesaving Award:
   Lieutenant Si Ahmad
   PFC Christopher Parker
   Madam Speaker, I congratulate the 2019 Valor Award Recipients, and 
thank all of the men and women who serve in the Town of Herndon Police 
Department. 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.
