  Mr. GALLEGO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the bravery and 
heroism of Kyshaune Lindsay, a fifteen-year-old from Phoenix who 
recently saved the life of a man in a burning building.
  Kyshaune was playing basketball outside when he saw his neighbor 
fleeing her home. His neighbor, Cindy Nunez, told him that her house 
was on fire and that her brother, who is paralyzed and bedridden, was 
trapped inside without access to his wheelchair. Upon hearing that 
Cindy could not physically pick up her brother to bring him out of the 
house, Kyshaune did not hesitate to make his way inside and help the 
man, lifting him into his chair to get him to safety.
  Marcos Marquez, the man that Kyshaune rescued, described him as a 
``true hero.'' His selflessness and courage in the face of real danger 
are remarkable, as is his humility in the aftermath of the event.

  I wish to express my admiration for the bravery that Kyshaune Lindsay 
displayed through his actions--an admiration that is shared not only by 
Marcos Marquez and his family but by the entire Phoenix community. I am 
confident that Kyshaune will continue to do great things in the future. 
He is truly a role model for people of all ages.
