 HONORING THE HEROIC ACTIONS OF MANHEIM TOWNSHIP POLICE OFFICERS KYLE 
                     CARNER AND ANTHONY DICLEMENTE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LLOYD SMUCKER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 10, 2023

  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Manheim Township 
Police Officers Kyle Carner and Anthony DiClemente, who went above-and-
beyond the call of duty, rescuing a woman whose vehicle had become 
submerged in a pond.
  Though water rescue is not part of standard training for many police 
officers, these heroes acted with competence, speed, and bravery to 
save the life of another. Despite the cold, they immediately took 
action upon arriving at the scene, wading through the murky water and 
rescuing the victim moments before she found herself underwater.
  When moments mattered, they thought not of themselves, but of the 
life of a stranger who was in need.
  It is heroes like Officers Carner and DiClemente who help us to 
understand and appreciate the role of policing in our communities: to 
serve and protect.
  I thank Officers Carner and DiClemente for their services to our 
community on that December night, and everyday they have worn their 
uniforms before or since. Their actions exemplify a high degree of 
character and integrity which we should all strive to emulate.
