                    ARIZONA MARINE PREVENTS ROBBERY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL A. GOSAR

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 9, 2021

  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and commend 
Marine veteran James Kilcer, whose exceptional heroism and 
extraordinary courage prevented an armed robbery at a Yuma, Arizona 
convenience store.
  On October 20, three men, one of whom was armed, entered the 
convenience store where Mr. Kilcer was shopping. Acting without 
hesitation, Mr. Kilcer disarmed the gunman and detained him until 
police arrived.
  Because of his heroism and swift action, no one was hurt and the 
robbers were all arrested. James Kilcer is well-deserving of the 
Citizen's Valor Award recently presented to him by the Yuma Sheriff 
Department. Madam Speaker, I commend Mr. James Kilcer for putting his 
own life on the line while aiding his fellow citizens.
