                        Monday, January 29, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jesse 
Mascarenas and Jason Burns of Salida, Colorado for being named Global 
Medical Response Stars of Life by the American Ambulance Association.
  In May 2022, Mr. Mascarenas, a flight nurse, and Mr. Burns, a flight 
paramedic, responded to a call about a hiker who had fallen 200 feet 
down a mountain in poor weather. While the two treated the injured 
hiker, he went into cardiac arrest. Despite the patient's condition, 
Mr. Mascarenas and Mr. Burns were able to stabilize the patient until 
he could be treated at a nearby hospital. The hiker is alive today due 
to the heroic actions of Mr. Mascarenas and Mr. Burns.
  It is my honor to recognize Mr. Mascarenas and Mr. Burns and thank 
them for their bravery and dedication to service.
