Rep. Rose Recognizes Local Hero for Saving Life of 3 Year Old Girl

WASHINGTON, DC-U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-06) took to the House Floor Thursday to recognize a Middle Tennessee man, whose quick actions are credited with saving the life of a three-year-old girl.

The full remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below:

Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the heroics of Kevin Wolverton, Sr. who stepped up in harrowing circumstances to rescue a three-year-old girl who had fallen into a quarry full of water.

Mr. Wolverton, a Nashville native who works at a nearby auto dealership in Lebanon, Tennessee, found the little girl floating on her side when he pulled her onto flat rocks and performed C-P-R.

Madam Speaker, there is no doubt he saved this young girl's life. She was later able to thank him for doing so after a full recovery just a few days after.

A grandfather himself, Kevin Wolverton, Sr. stepped-up to save the day. We couldn't be prouder of his life-saving actions.

I hope all Members will join me in recognizing and thanking Mr. Wolverton for his tremendous display of bravery.

With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
