  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize my constituent Deputy 
Sheriff PFC Kevin Davis for being named Outstanding Deputy Sheriff of 
the Year by the Rotary Club of West Springfield. PFC Davis joined the 
Sheriff's Office in 2009 after retiring from the U.S. Marine Corps as a 
gunnery sergeant. PFC Davis works in the Fairfax County Sheriff's 
Office Civil Enforcement Branch, where he is responsible for the 
processing and service of civil documents on behalf of the courts and 
is assigned to West Springfield and Burke in Fairfax County.

  PFC Davis and the other deputies have spearheaded efforts, both on 
and off the job, to help victims of domestic violence and sexual 
assault. This past summer they partnered with 17 Starbucks stores to 
collect toiletries and baby care items for Artemis House, Fairfax 
County's only 24-hour domestic violence shelter. PFC Davis volunteers 
for many other Sheriff's Office activities beyond his regular job 
assignment. He is a member of the award-winning Honor Guard team. He 
also participates in Project Lifesaver, which assists families and 
caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorders, Down 
syndrome, Alzheimer's, and related conditions and disabilities. During 
National Night Out he visited several community gatherings in West 
Springfield and Burke and made an especially positive impression on 
young children and their families. Upon graduating from the Fairfax 
County Criminal Justice Academy, he was elected Class President by his 
peers and received the Instructor's Award for his outstanding 
leadership.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating PFC 
Davis and in thanking him for his years of service to Fairfax County. 
He has demonstrated exceptional dedication to public safety and the 
mission of law enforcement, and for that, we owe him a special debt of 
gratitude.
