  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize our Texas-24 
Hometown Heroes, Elizabeth Pickett and Noelle Dorgan. Over the summer, 
when a woman dialed 9-1-1 as her husband experienced a cardiac event, 
Elizabeth and Noelle stepped up to help save a life. As Emergency 
Communications Specialists for the Grapevine Police Department, they 
successfully guided the caller through the steps of CPR. Thanks to the 
clear instructions of these first responders and the caller's immediate 
action, the patient was able to be saved once paramedics arrived. 
Recently, Elizabeth and Noelle earned well-deserved recognition from 
the Grapevine Fire Department for their heroic efforts. Their composure 
amidst this intense situation was the difference between life and 
death. I want to thank both Elizabeth and Noelle for their dedication 
to serving the community and their efforts to tend to the safety and 
health of Texas-24.
