HONORING DETECTIVE JONATHAN R. MILLER AS A RECIPIENT OF THE VALOR AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 13, 2020

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize City of 
Fayetteville Police Department Detective Jonathan R. Miller as a 
recipient of the Public Safety Valor Award, presented annually by the 
Greater Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce.
  The Valor Award is a prestigious honor presented to men and women of 
the Fayetteville region who perform acts of heroism under extreme risk. 
An outstanding member of Fayetteville Police Department, Detective 
Miller went beyond his call of duty on the evening of Tuesday, August 
29, 2019.
  While driving over a bridge, Detective Miller witnessed a driver lose 
consciousness at the wheel and swerve into oncoming traffic. He saw a 
woman in the other lane attempt to avert the oncoming vehicle and 
jumped into immediate action. Detective Miller pulled over and 
successfully stopped the moving vehicle before impact. After securing 
the scene, he called for medical assistance for the unconscious driver.
  Detective Miller is a hero and that night he prevented not only a 
head on collision, but also a possible second tragedy from occurring. 
His quick actions, bravery, and dedication to service is a credit to 
him, his family, and the entire Fayetteville Police Department. I know 
I speak for everyone in our community when I say we are truly grateful 
for his unwavering service and cannot thank him enough.
  Detective Miller is deserving of this honor, and I would like to 
extend my most sincere appreciation and wish him success as he 
continues to protect our communities.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in celebrating City of 
Fayetteville Police Department Detective Jonathan R. Miller for 
receiving the Public Safety Valor Award.
