                        Thursday, March 1, 2007

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
an outstanding group of men and women in Northern Virginia. The Fairfax 
County Chamber of Commerce annually recognizes individuals who have 
demonstrated superior dedication to public safety with the prestigious 
Valor Award. Two members of the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office have 
earned this highest honor that Fairfax County bestows upon its public 
safety officials.
  There are several types of Valor Awards that can be awarded to a 
public safety officer: the Lifesaving Award, the Certificate of Valor, 
or the Gold, Silver, or Bronze Medal of Valor.
  It is with great pride that I enter into the record the names of the 
recipients of the 2007 Valor Awards in the Fairfax County Sheriff's 
Office. Receiving the Certificate of Valor: Private First Class Robert 
L. Perryman; the Bronze Medal: Private First Class Darrell L. Carty.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank all the men and women who serve in the Fairfax County Sheriff's 
Office. Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of Fairfax 
County, are selfless acts of heroism and truly merit our highest 
praise. I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding this group of 
remarkable citizens.
