                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding member of the Virginia State Police. This individual has 
demonstrated superior dedication to public safety and has been awarded 
the prestigious Valor Award by the Prince William Regional Chamber of 
Commerce.
  The Valor Awards recognize remarkable heroism and bravery in the line 
of duty exemplified by our public safety agencies and their commitment 
to the community. Our public safety and law enforcement personnel put 
their lives on the line everyday to keep our families and neighborhoods 
safe.
  One member of the Virginia State Police is being honored this year 
for his exceptional service. It is with great pride that I submit his 
name into the Congressional Record:
  Recipient of the 2010 Investigative Merit Award is: Trooper Edward J. 
Miskin.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank all of the men and women who serve in the Virginia State Police. 
Their efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of Virginia, 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.

                          ____________________
