                        TRIBUTE TO PARKER WALTER

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Parker Walter of Madison County for his extraordinary 
bravery in the face of danger.
  In late September, the American Red Cross awarded 6-year-old Parker 
Walter with a Certificate of Extraordinary Personal Action from their 
National Lifesaving Award Program. This was the first time in 20 years 
that a Montanan has received the distinguished Lifesaving Award from 
the American Red Cross. Parker heroically saved his 4-year-old brother 
Cooper from drowning when he slipped into a rushing irrigation ditch 
behind their home. Parker immediately screamed out to his mother and 
grandmother to alert them and quickly ran over to pull his younger

brother from the ditch. Parker's swift action and response saved 
Cooper's life.
  It is my honor to recognize Parker for his incredible lifesaving 
action. Parker has made all of Montana proud for his bravery.
