         HONORING TYLER BALDWIN, A WEST VIRGINIAN HOMETOWN HERO

  (Mr. MOONEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOONEY. Madam Speaker, I stand before you to share a story of 
West Virginia's Second Congressional District's own hometown hero, 
Tyler Baldwin.
  Tyler Baldwin is a 17-year-old young man from Newville, West 
Virginia, who risked his own life to rush into his neighbor's burning 
home.
  On the morning of November 29, 2021, Tyler was going through his 
daily routine of getting ready for school, and he noticed his 
neighbor's house was on fire.
  He knew his neighbor had mobility issues. Without hesitation, Tyler 
sprinted into the blaze and smoke and helped his neighbor escape. Tyler 
was treated for minor injuries, and the homeowner was shaken up but 
okay.
  It is an honor for my staff and me to present Tyler with a formal 
letter of gratitude and a Congressional Certificate of Recognition at a 
ceremony put together by his school. I want to thank him for selflessly 
putting others first and congratulate him on being an upstanding 
citizen in his community.
