                        Wednesday, June 19, 2019

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Stonewall Jackson 
Volunteer Fire & Rescue and its outstanding members who have 
demonstrated superior dedication to public safety and are the 2019 
recipients of the prestigious Prince William Chamber of Commerce Merit 
Award and Valorous Unit Award for their service. The annual Prince 
William Chamber of Commerce Valor Awards recognize 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 our firefighters, police officers, and emergency 
personnel for their extraordinary service. These brave men and women 
put their lives at risk on a daily basis to keep our families and 
neighborhoods safe. These dedicated service members of a combination 
career and volunteer system fight fires, provide emergency medical 
services, perform rescues, and work in our community to promote fire 
safety and prevention. In recognition of their acts of valor, it is my 
honor to include in the Record the following names of the Stonewall 
Jackson Volunteer Fire & Rescue public safety personnel:
  Merit Award for Valor: Firefighter/EMT Carlos Ambrosini.
  Silver Medal for Valor: Firefighter Ian Lauderdale.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 2019 
Prince William Chamber of Commerce Valor Award recipients of the 
Stonewall Jackson Volunteer Fire & Rescue. The selfless acts of heroism 
by this distinguished group of men and women truly merits our highest 
praise. I thank each honoree, as well as all Stonewall Jackson 
Volunteer Fire & Rescue public safety professionals for their 
dedication and commitment to the protection of our communities.
