      RECOGNIZING AIR FORCE TECHNICAL SERGEANT WILLIAM H. GONZALEZ

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise during Military 
Appreciation Month to highlight an eastern North Carolina native and a 
true American hero.
  United States Air Force Technical Sergeant William H. Gonzalez of my 
hometown, Snow Hill, North Carolina, was on the way home after picking 
up his mother from the airport when he saw a woman lose control of her 
vehicle and veer into a pond off Interstate 587.
  Mr. Speaker, as a fearless airman with 9 years of service, Gonzalez 
didn't hesitate and leaped into action. He dove into the pond, brought 
the woman back to consciousness, and helped her safely escape from her 
submerged vehicle.
  This Military Appreciation Month, we salute all of our brave men and 
women in uniform. Today, I ask for people across America to join me in 
saluting Technical Sergeant William Gonzalez.
