“I rise today to honor a true young hero from Richmond Hill, Georgia, 12-year-old Macy Johnson. After school, Macy stepped off the bus to see flames tearing through her family's garage. Thick smoke filled the two-story home where her two older brothers were inside, completely unaware. Instead of running for safety, Macy raced to the front door and screamed: Get out. Her urgent warning gave them just enough time to escape unharmed. Thanks to Macy's quick thinking and courage, her entire family survived. Five crews from Richmond Hill and Bryan County knocked down flames, but the home suffered severe damage. The Johnsons lost nearly 80 percent of their belongings and are now relying on the American Red Cross as they begin to rebuild. Lisa Johnson, Macy's proud mother, calls her daughter incredible. In the face of danger, this 12 year old showed bravery far beyond her years and put her family first. Macy Johnson reminds us that heroes come in all ages and selfless actions save lives.”
