  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise to commend the Haymarket Police 
Department and its outstanding member who has demonstrated superior 
dedication to ensuring the safety of his colleagues and members of the 
community and his designation as a 2019 Prince William Chamber of 
Commerce Valor Award recipient. The annual Valor Awards ceremony 
recognizes the remarkable heroism and bravery above and beyond the line 
of duty exemplified by our public safety and law enforcement 
professionals. For the past 33 years, the Prince William Chamber of 
Commerce has paid tribute to police officers, firefighters, and 
emergency personnel for their extraordinary service.
  Our public safety and law enforcement workforces put their lives at 
risk on a daily basis to keep our families and neighborhoods safe. In 
recognition of acts of valor, we award the following honoree for 
demonstrating extraordinary dedication and outstanding performance 
under unusually difficult or dangerous circumstances. It is my honor to 
include in the Record the following name of the Haymarket Police 
Department law enforcement professional:
  Merit Award for Valor: Officer John Gregory.
   Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
2019 Prince William Chamber of Commerce Valor Award recipient from the 
Haymarket Police Department. The selfless acts of heroism by this 
distinguished individual merit our highest praise. I thank the honoree, 
as well as all the Haymarket Police Department law enforcement 
professionals, for their dedication and commitment to the protection of 
our communities.
