  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable 
actions of a constituent in my district, Becky Arbaugh. Becky is a 
dedicated manager at a Taco Bell in Richboro where on the afternoon of 
April 13th this year she demonstrated unparalleled courage and quick 
thinking, saving the life of an eleven-week-old baby in a moment of 
crisis.
  It was an ordinary day at 4:45 PM, at the Taco Bell where Becky 
works, until an extraordinary event unfolded. A frantic scene emerged 
as screams were heard outside of the drive through window from mother, 
Natasha. Baby Myles Long suddenly stopped breathing. Without 
hesitation, Becky sprang into action upon realizing how dire the 
situation was. In those crucial moments, Becky's actions proved to be 
the difference between life and death. Becky began performing CPR on 
Myles, working tirelessly to revive the infant. Becky's own daughter 
had faced a similar life-threatening situation in the past. Drawing 
from the lessons learned during her daughter's ordeal, Becky approached 
the situation with a unique blend of empathy, experience, and 
unwavering determination.
  As the ambulance arrived and whisked the baby away to receive further 
medical attention, Becky's actions stood as a testament to the power of 
compassion and selflessness. Her bravery serves as an inspiration to us 
all, reminding us of the impact that one individual can make in the 
lives of others.
  Becky Arbaugh's actions that day are a beacon of hope, embodying the 
true spirit of heroism. Today, we honor Becky and extend our heartfelt 
gratitude for her unwavering commitment to the well-being of others.
