Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize two young women from Norfolk, Virginia, Katie Heine and Morgan Nottingham, who were awarded the Medal of Honor--Lifesaving Award from the Girls Scouts of the USA.
While setting up a booth to sell Girl Scout cookies, Morgan and Katie noticed a man collapse nearby. Inferring that the man was having a seizure, the two Girl Scouts sprang into action. Morgan rolled the man on his side and placed a jacket under his head to stabilize him. Meanwhile, Katie quickly called 911 and alerted a nearby security officer for assistance. The two young women cared for the man until the paramedics arrived at the scene.
Terri Nottingham, Katie and Morgan's troop leader and Morgan's mother, credited their experience as Girl Scouts in preparing them for the intense situation. With the poise and bravery that they displayed in such a critical moment, Morgan and Katie are more than worthy of the National Medal of Honor--Lifesaving Award.
It is important that we recognize individuals in our communities who go above and beyond to make a difference. I am proud to represent these two young heroes in Congress, and I congratulate Katie and Morgan on receiving this well-deserved honor.
