Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bay County Deputy Sheriff Mike Clancy for his heroic efforts in saving the life of a 6-year-old boy in Panama City Beach. Deputy Clancy recently responded to a drowning call at a hotel to find an unresponsive child. He immediately took action, and his quick thinking and response saved young Jaxon's life. Deputy Clancy said in his own words that he is not a hero, but to Jaxon and to his family, he is a hero. Deputy Clancy attributes his skills to 22 years in the U.S. Army and training at the Bay County Sheriff's Office. Every day, despite great personal risks, law enforcement officers across the country put on their uniforms and carry out their duties to protect and serve. Mr. Speaker, I thank Deputy Clancy and all who wear the badge. Their actions reflect great credit on the Bay County Sheriff's Office and exemplify the best in the American people. ____________________
