WHEREAS, The decisive actions of Jacob Chavez on May 21, |
|
2008, helped save a toddler from near drowning; and |

|
pool area; they rushed to the scene, where a lifeless child was |
|
being pulled out of the water; and |
|
WHEREAS, An Eagle Scout who was recently recertified in CPR, |
|
Mr. Chavez immediately offered his assistance; meanwhile, Mr. |
|
Mulligan ran to an emergency call box and, realizing it was stuck, |

|
on the victim, and by the time the paramedics arrived, the child's |
|
pulse had returned; and |
|

|
skill, composure, and speed, and thanks in part to his heroic |
|
efforts, a tragedy was successfully averted; now, therefore, be it |
|
