“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the excellent law enforcement personnel who serve North Carolina's 13th District. I would like to specifically mention a heroic act that happened on July 14 in Rowan County. A detective named Josh Simmons saw a burning car as he drove down Highway 52. When he approached, he found an elderly woman unable to get out. He pulled her from the car just minutes before it went up in flames. Detective Simmons said of his actions: ``The way I was raised, you take care of people. I didn't know who was in the car. It didn't matter who they were. They just needed help.'' Mr. Speaker, this is a great example for all of us. Our community is truly lucky to have such courageous folks serving and protecting us. Healthy Skies Act”
