Joseph Haynes Davis said "I stand with deep gratitude and respect for our dedicated first responders who exemplify the true spirit of commitment to their oaths to protect and serve. When this past weekend's explosion rocked Perdue's feed mill in Cofield, North Carolina, it was our first responders who rushed toward danger, demonstrating an unwavering sense of duty without hesitation. I thank Captain Kendail Swain, Sergeant Tymesha Cherry, Deputy Holden Brickhouse, along with firefighters Alex and Robert Ward, who put their lives on the line, and to all of our first responders who remind us of the importance of selflessness. Mr. Speaker, I extend my heartfelt prayers to the families affected in the Hertford County community. I also recognize Sheriff Hayes and Chief Askew. I truly am honored to recognize these remarkable first responders as the heroes that they are." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
