                      CELEBRATING OUR LOCAL HEROES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2011

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to salute the Dulles Regional 
Chamber of Commerce and the fine people being recognized at its annual 
awards gala, So Proudly We Hail--Celebrating Our Local Heroes.
  The Dulles Regional Chamber is located in one of the top technology 
corridors in the nation and is the largest chamber in Fairfax County. 
Each year it recognizes first responders in the region who have gone 
above and beyond the call of duty.
  This year's honorees are Capt. Kathleen Stanley with Fairfax County's 
International Urban Search and Rescue and the late Sgt. Phillip Farley 
with the Herndon Police Department.
  Capt. Stanley has served the citizens of Fairfax County for nearly 20 
years, most recently in Battalion 401 which serves the Reston/Herndon 
area of Fairfax County. In 2010, she deployed with the county's Urban 
Search and Rescue team to Haiti, where she served for the entire 
deployment as a medical specialist, often administering care to 
patients critically injured in the earthquake.
  Sgt. Farley is being recognized for his contributions from 2001 to 
2010 to the Herndon Police Department. Because of his efforts, the 
Herndon Police Department is one of the first law enforcement agencies 
in northern Virginia to implement a seamless transition in its 
electronic records management, computer aided dispatch and mobile 
computer terminals to enable effective communication and records 
management solutions. Sgt. Farley also was instrumental in the research 
and testing of the department's transition from revolvers to automatic 
weapons. In addition, he introduced scenario-based training to coincide 
with annual range training.
  In addition to recognizing local first responders, the chamber 
invited and saluted seven service men for their contributions to our 
country. They are: Chief Warrant Officer 5 Bradley Garfield, U.S. 
Marine Corps; 1st Sgt Michael Barrett, U.S. Marine Corps; Gunnery Sgt. 
Alain Frederique, U.S. Marine Corps; Gunnery Sgt. Josue Magana, U.S. 
Marine Corps; Staff Sgt. Hugh Davis, U.S. Army Reserve, retired; 
Technical Sgt. Christopher Frost, U.S. Air Force, and Sgt. John 
Eubanks, U.S. Marine Corps.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the accomplishments of 
these honorees. We owe them all our thanks.
