  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officer Byron 
Redmon of the Frankfort Police Department on being awarded the 2024 
Medal of Valor for his bravery demonstrated while responding to a 
critical situation within Franklin County.

Redmon provided critical tactical support throughout the duration of 
the event, allowing for a synchronized response that led to the 
suspect's safe apprehension.
  Throughout this critical situation, Officer Redmon provided crucial 
support contributing to the resolution. His actions and exceptional 
teamwork skills allowed for a peaceful resolution for all involved.
  Officer Redmon voluntarily performed extraordinary acts of bravery. 
His actions went above and beyond and have made him deserving of this 
fine honor. I am confident that
