                        RECOGNIZING SCOTT MEADOR

  (Mr. BUCSHON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a local act of 
courage.
  Earlier this week, in my hometown of Newburgh, Indiana, a car wreck 
at a local gas station quickly turned into a life-or-death situation. 
In what was described as a scene from an action movie, Boonville native 
Scott Meador, who was a bystander to the incident, bravely pulled the 
driver to safety before the car was consumed by flames, saving the 
driver's life.
  Scott Meador is a hero and an example for us all. Because of his 
selfless action, a family remains whole. That is what it means to be a 
Hoosier--to come to the aid of your fellow citizen when they are in 
need.
  Mr. Speaker, it is important to highlight the positive things that 
happen daily in our country. Regardless of what may be going on around 
us, events like this remind us what is really important in life.
