                       Wednesday, April 14, 2021

  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize two 
young women from Norfolk, Virginia, Katie Heine and Morgan Nottingham, 
who were awarded the Medal of Honor--Lifesaving Award from the Girls 
Scouts of the USA.
  While setting up a booth to sell Girl Scout cookies, Morgan and Katie 
noticed a man collapse nearby. Inferring that the man was having a 
seizure, the two Girl Scouts sprang into action. Morgan rolled the man 
on his side and placed a jacket under his head to stabilize him. 
Meanwhile, Katie quickly called 911 and alerted a nearby security 
officer for assistance. The two young women cared for the man until the 
paramedics arrived at the scene.
  Terri Nottingham, Katie and Morgan's troop leader and Morgan's 
mother, credited their experience as Girl Scouts in preparing them for 
the intense situation. With the poise and bravery that they displayed 
in such a critical moment, Morgan and Katie are more than worthy of the 
National Medal of Honor--Lifesaving Award.
  It is important that we recognize individuals in our communities who 
go above and beyond to make a difference. I am proud to represent these 
two young heroes in Congress, and I congratulate Katie and Morgan on 
receiving this well-deserved honor.
