                      RECOGNIZING DEMETRIUS JONES

  (Mr. MURPHY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible hero 
from my district.
  Earlier this month, an emergency unfolded in the town of Maysville, 
North Carolina, when a distressed driver rushed into the town hall, 
seeking urgent assistance for his wife.
  Demetrius Jones, who serves as the finance officer in the town of 
Maysville, performed lifesaving measures on the individual until the 
fire and EMS services could arrive on the scene.
  As a physician, I understand the critical importance of acting 
swiftly to intervene and preserve life. Demetrius' actions not only 
demonstrated extraordinary courage but also saved the life of someone 
in need.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Demetrius for his service to the community and 
for exemplifying what it means to step up for others in times of crisis 
and need.
