                    TRIBUTE TO SERGEANT CHASEN BROWN

  Mr. ROMNEY. Madam President, I rise to recognize Sergeant Chasen 
Brown for his selfless demonstration of bravery while providing 
lifesaving first aid to victims of senseless violence on the evening of 
October 1, 2017, in Las Vegas, NV.
  On that day, Sergeant Brown was suddenly and unexpectedly thrust into 
a massacre of his fellow citizens. As bullets rained down 
indiscriminately from above on innocent concert-goers, Sergeantt Brown 
immediately began delivering critical aid to dozens of wounded victims, 
saving countless lives while placing his own life in extraordinary 
danger.
  Bravery, sacrifice, and service to others are not, however, novel 
concepts to Sergeant Brown. As a gunner for Charlie Battery, 2nd 
Battalion, 222nd Field Artillery, Sergeant Brown has dedicated his 
career to serving our country. Today, we are lucky to have his service 
in the Utah National Guard, and our State is safer as a result. For his 
heroism, Governor Herbert awarded Sergeant Brown with the Utah Medal of 
Valor, the highest level of recognition for distinguished service. This 
honor is well-deserved, but the greatest reward is the gift of life 
that Sergeant Brown protected for the many civilians he saved that 
night amid terror and evil.
  The great people of the State of Utah and our fellow Americans owe 
Sergeant Chasen Brown a debt of gratitude for his extraordinary courage 
under unimaginable circumstances. Thank you, Chasen.
