“It is with great pride that I come to the House floor today to honor my constituent, David Brown, from Shakopee, Minnesota, who was recently awarded the Carnegie Medal for an extraordinary act of heroism in our community. On May 26, 2019, two men began to struggle after entering the frigid water of the Gull River. They were trying to save their friend who was having trouble getting back to shore due to the strong current. Despite the risk to his own safety, David jumped into the water and successfully brought both men back to the shore while another saved their friend. It is so important that this heroic act be recognized here on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, and it is my honor to do so. Madam Speaker, I thank David for his outstanding commitment to our community and his life-saving action. ____________________”
