                     HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 21, 2020

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
heroic actions of Major Curtis Ivins.
  Major Ivins is currently assigned to the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd 
Infantry Division stationed at Ft. Stewart, Georgia, which is in 
Georgia's First District.
  He is not only a hero in his service with our nation's armed forces, 
but also with helping people in his local community.
  In February of this year, Curt was witness to a single vehicle 
accident in Chatham County, GA.
  Without hesitation, he immediately engaged and was able to free the 
mother and two sons from the vehicle before it continued to roll.
  Curt saw the accident, ran from his vehicle, broke their windows, and 
cut seat belts to pull them to safety just before the vehicle rolled 
again.
  I am proud to represent thousands of military servicemen and women. 
This includes Curt, and all those who rise to the occasion in all times 
of need and put their lives at risk for others.

                          ____________________
