Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the heroic actions of Major Curtis Ivins.

Major Ivins is currently assigned to the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division stationed at Ft. Stewart, Georgia, which is in Georgia's First District.

He is not only a hero in his service with our nation's armed forces, but also with helping people in his local community.

In February of this year, Curt was witness to a single vehicle accident in Chatham County, GA.

Without hesitation, he immediately engaged and was able to free the mother and two sons from the vehicle before it continued to roll.

Curt saw the accident, ran from his vehicle, broke their windows, and cut seat belts to pull them to safety just before the vehicle rolled again.

I am proud to represent thousands of military servicemen and women. This includes Curt, and all those who rise to the occasion in all times of need and put their lives at risk for others.
