Our Nation continues to mourn the many, many innocent citizens that were lost in the tragic events of September 11 and terrorist events since then. However, our Nation also celebrates the courage and dedication of the firefighters, police officers and medical personnel who worked around the clock to find survivors amidst the rubble in New York and Washington. These brave men and women were first on the scene and risked their lives to help their fellow Americans, and many of these brave souls made the ultimate sacrifice. Mr. Speaker, it is only proper that the United States recognize these heroes and award them the Medal of Valor for their service. I encourage all my colleagues to support this resolution and for America never to forget our fallen heroes.
