                        RECOGNIZING ERIC BABCOCK

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. STEVE STIVERS

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 30, 2012

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the courageous 
actions of Grove City resident, Eric Babcock. On December 18, 2011, 
Eric rescued a neighbor's young granddaughter from the second floor of 
a burning garage.
  I ask that all Members of Congress join me and the people of Ohio's 
15th Congressional District in thanking Eric Babcock for his brave 
actions. Despite the grave risk to his own life, he selflessly rose to 
the occasion and saved the life of his young neighbor. For his heroism, 
Eric received well-deserved recognition from the Jackson Township Board 
of Trustees.
  I extend my sincere thanks to Eric Babcock for his heroism. While to 
some he may be an ordinary person, his extraordinary act is exactly 
what makes me proud to represent the everyday heroes of the Central 
Ohio area.
