Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable actions of a constituent in my district, Becky Arbaugh. Becky is a dedicated manager at a Taco Bell in Richboro where on the afternoon of April 13th this year she demonstrated unparalleled courage and quick thinking, saving the life of an eleven-week-old baby in a moment of crisis.

It was an ordinary day at 4:45 PM, at the Taco Bell where Becky works, until an extraordinary event unfolded. A frantic scene emerged as screams were heard outside of the drive through window from mother, Natasha. Baby Myles Long suddenly stopped breathing. Without hesitation, Becky sprang into action upon realizing how dire the situation was. In those crucial moments, Becky's actions proved to be the difference between life and death. Becky began performing CPR on Myles, working tirelessly to revive the infant. Becky's own daughter had faced a similar life-threatening situation in the past. Drawing from the lessons learned during her daughter's ordeal, Becky approached the situation with a unique blend of empathy, experience, and unwavering determination.

As the ambulance arrived and whisked the baby away to receive further medical attention, Becky's actions stood as a testament to the power of compassion and selflessness. Her bravery serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the impact that one individual can make in the lives of others.

Becky Arbaugh's actions that day are a beacon of hope, embodying the true spirit of heroism. Today, we honor Becky and extend our heartfelt gratitude for her unwavering commitment to the well-being of others.
