HONORING LOGAN HERNDON AND WILLIAM JACKSON FOR BEING AWARDED THE VALOR 
                                 AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 24, 2019

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Captain Logan 
Herndon and Lieutenant William Jackson as recipients of the Public 
Safety Valor Award.
  The Valor Award is a prestigious honor presented to first responders 
of the greater Fayetteville region who perform acts of heroism under 
extreme risk. Captain Herndon and Lieutenant Jackson proudly serve the 
Fayetteville Fire Department and went above the normal call of duty in 
January 2019.
  After responding to a motor vehicle accident, Captain Herndon and 
Lieutenant Jackson began to routinely assist Cumberland County EMS and 
the Fayetteville Police Department. As they worked, unusual commotion 
could be heard from an ambulance where one of the motorists was being 
treated. Calls for help came from the ambulance and as Captain Herndon 
and Lieutenant Jackson rushed over, they found a police officer in a 
physical altercation with the motorist. They responded forcefully, 
quickly securing the scene.
  Captain Herndon and Lieutenant Jackson's quick actions may have saved 
the lives of their colleagues, as a loaded firearm was found in the 
offender's possession. I know I speak for everyone in our community 
when I say we are truly grateful for their unwavering service and 
cannot thank them enough.
  Captain Logan Herndon and Lieutenant William Jackson are deserving of 
this honor and I would like to offer my sincerest appreciation and wish 
them success as they continue to protect our communities.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in celebrating Captain Logan 
Herndon and Lieutenant William Jackson on receiving the Public Safety 
Valor Award.
