Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible hero from my district.

Earlier this month, an emergency unfolded in the town of Maysville, North Carolina, when a distressed driver rushed into the town hall, seeking urgent assistance for his wife.

Demetrius Jones, who serves as the finance officer in the town of Maysville, performed lifesaving measures on the individual until the fire and EMS services could arrive on the scene.

As a physician, I understand the critical importance of acting swiftly to intervene and preserve life. Demetrius' actions not only demonstrated extraordinary courage but also saved the life of someone in need.

Mr. Speaker, I thank Demetrius for his service to the community and for exemplifying what it means to step up for others in times of crisis and need.
