                      Wednesday, November 4, 2009

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to highlight 
the efforts of one of my constituents. After hearing the story of three 
endangered sea turtles struck by the sudden freezing coastal waters in 
New England, Mr. Ronnie Santos, who is a proud member of the East 
Cooper Pilots Association, volunteered his time and resources to 
conduct an Angel Flight in his own personal aircraft to rescue the sea 
turtles and bring them back to the South Carolina Aquarium Sea Turtle 
Hospital in Charleston where they will be cared for.
  I would like to commend Mr. Santos for leading by example and I thank 
him and all the hardworking staff and volunteers at the South Carolina 
Aquarium Sea Turtle Hospital in Charleston for putting in the long 
hours and doing the sometimes thankless work. Thank you for all that 
you do, you are all truly a symbol of what makes coastal South Carolina 
such a special place.
