    COMMEMORATING THE LIFE-SAVING ACTIONS OF 7-YEAR-OLD LILLIE DAVIS

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Lillie 
Davis of Willow Springs, Missouri for her heroic actions that helped 
save the life of her father, Seth.
  Lillie's father has suffered from epilepsy since he was a child. 
Because of this, Lillie was trained for emergency situations at a young 
age. When her father went into an epileptic seizure one spring morning, 
7-year-old Lillie knew just what to do to help him. She acted with 
poise and bravery and went through the proper motions to save her dad. 
She calmly called her mother, who called 9-1-1, and then helped talk 
Lillie through the motions. Lillie made sure her dad was still 
breathing, then turned his head to make sure he wasn't holding his 
breath. She even opened the back door so the first responders could 
quickly enter upon arrival.
  First responders stated that they have never seen a young child know 
just what to do in an emergency like this. I commend Lillie for her 
acts of bravery that helped save her father's life. She is a true hero.
  For her heroic actions, it is my great pleasure to celebrate Miss 
Lillie Davis today before the U.S. House of Representatives.
