    HONORING PARAMEDIC HUNTER FOX AS A RECIPIENT OF THE VALOR AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 13, 2020

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cape Fear Valley 
Emergency Medical Services Paramedic Hunter Fox 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 Cape Fear Valley EMS, Mr. Fox went beyond his 
call of duty on March 23, 2020.
  When his ambulance was overturned following a collision with a 
privately owned motor vehicle, Mr. Fox took command of the scene. In an 
act of heroic selflessness, he rendered aid to his partner, an EMS 
student, and the critically injured driver of the other vehicle. 
Working in conjunction with other EMS units, he successfully triaged 
all injured individuals and ensured that exceptional care was provided.
  Mr. Fox's quick actions, bravery, and dedication to service is a 
credit to him, his family, and Cape Fear Valley EMS. 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.
  Mr. Fox 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 Cape Fear Valley 
EMS Paramedic Hunter Fox for receiving the Public Safety Valor Award.
