  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the Manassas Park/Manassas City/Prince William County Regional 
Narcotics Task Force. The Task Force 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 every day to keep our families and 
neighborhoods safe.
  The Regional Narcotics Task Force is being honored this year for its 
exceptional service with an Investigative Merit Award. It is with great 
pride that I submit the Task Force into the Congressional Record.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank all of the men and women who serve on the Manassas Park/Manassas 
City/Prince William County Regional Narcotics Task Force. Their 
efforts, made on behalf of the citizens of Northern 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.
