               HONORING NICHOLAS BROWN AND MICHAEL THARP

  (Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor two heroes from the 
Fourth Congressional District of Arkansas. Nicholas Brown of Hot 
Springs and Michael Tharp of Hope were awarded the American Ambulance 
Association Stars of Life awards this week.
  These men are both veterans who served their Nation with valor before 
returning home to Arkansas and joining the private sector.
  But their sense of duty brought them back to public service, with 
both men now working as emergency medical services professionals. They 
are first responders saving lives in their hometowns every day.
  I congratulate Nicholas and Michael on this award and thank them for 
their service.
