                      REMEMBERING La'DARIOUS WYLIE

  Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I would like to recognize the life and 
remarkable heroism of La'Darious Wylie, an 11-year-old boy from 
Chester, SC, who showed his love for his younger sister by saving her 
life.
  On October 27, La'Darious was standing at a schoolbus stop in Chester 
when he realized a car was heading toward his sister, Sha'Vonta 
McCrorey. His love for his sister led him to immediately jump in front 
of the moving car and push his sister out of the way. At that moment, 
La'Darious saved his sister's life.
  La'Darious sacrificed his life in order to save his sister's. This 
truly touched my heart and moved people across our Nation. La'Darious 
was brave and selfless during a dangerous situation, and his heroic act 
says a lot about who he was, even at such a young age: fearless, 
compassionate, and a leader.
  I had an opportunity to speak with La'Darious's mother, Liz McCrorey, 
and my heart aches for her, La'Darious's sister Sha'Vonta, and his 
brother Carlos Wylie. My prayers are with them. I ask that everyone 
will keep them in their thoughts as they continue to heal and grieve.
  I am positive La'Darious is in a better place. He was a true hero, 
and his family should be proud of that.

  Today I ask that we honor and celebrate his life. His courage and 
ultimate sacrifice should never be forgotten.
  God bless.
