     COMMENDING WALTER PUDDIFER, TOM GARNER, HUGH LOFTING II, DAN 
         DiGREGORIO, DAVID MacDONALD, AND BURNETT H. WILSON III

  (Ms. HOULAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOULAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today before the House of 
Representatives to commend Walter Puddifer, Tom Garner, Hugh Lofting 
II, Dan DiGregorio, David MacDonald, and Burnett H. Wilson III for 
their heroism.
  On Tuesday, August 4, in our community of Chester County, amidst 
fast-moving floodwaters, these six men risked their own lives and saved 
a father and children from sinking in a vehicle.
  It is so important in these trying times to try to recognize the 
brave, heroic acts that everyday Americans are committing.
  This story is not an isolated incident. There are countless stories 
across the country of people stepping up to save lives: healthcare 
workers, essential workers, and, indeed, the average person who sees 
somebody in need and drops everything to help.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank these brave Pennsylvanians, and I enter their 
names into the Congressional Record for their selfless and courageous 
acts of service.
