“I rise today to praise the members of the Montgomery County Maryland Search and Rescue Team for their work in Oklahoma City. This team worked among the death and destruction of Oklahoma City, driven by the hope that they would find another survivor within the tons of debris of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. I cannot stress the gratitude that I feel as the Senator for Maryland to this group of dedicated heros, who worked 12 hours a day, for days on end, in their search for survivors. This group concentrated on search and rescue, ignoring the danger of falling debris and the mental agony of this tragedy. Mr. President, I feel the dedication this team and others like it displayed in Oklahoma City exemplifies the American spirit, a spirit of helping those in need to overcome a crisis. The brave men and women of the Montgomery County Search and Rescue Team placed their lives on the line for their fellow Americans; this is nothing less than an act of heroism.”
