  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise to commend the Manassas Park 
Police Department and its outstanding members who have demonstrated 
superior dedication to ensuring the safety of their colleagues and 
members of the community and their designation as 2019 Prince William 
Chamber of Commerce Valor Award recipients. The annual Valor Awards 
ceremony recognizes the remarkable heroism and bravery above and beyond 
the line of duty exemplified by our public safety and law enforcement 
professionals. For the past 33 years, the Prince William Chamber of 
Commerce has paid tribute to police officers, firefighters, and 
emergency personnel for their extraordinary service.
   Our public safety and law enforcement workforces put their lives at 
risk on a daily basis to keep our families and neighborhoods safe. In 
recognition of acts of valor, we award the following honoree for his 
demonstrated extraordinary dedication and outstanding performance under 
unusually difficult or dangerous circumstances. It is my honor to 
include in the Record one of the names of the Manassas Park Police 
Department law enforcement professionals:

       Hillary Robinette Award
       Detective Christopher Koglin

   Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
2019 Prince William Chamber of Commerce Valor Award recipient of the 
Manassas Park Police Department. The selfless acts of heroism by this 
distinguished individual merits our highest praise. I thank each 
honoree, as well as all Manassas Park Police Department law enforcement 
professionals, for their dedication and commitment to the protection of 
our communities.
