The resolution honors Trooper Charles May for his nomination for the 2023 Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Life Saving Medal. It recounts a heroic incident on January 22, 2022, when Trooper May, while off duty, assisted in the search for a missing hunter, David Washburn, who had been swept away by water from a collapsed beaver dam. Utilizing his knowledge of the area, Trooper May located Mr. Washburn, who was suffering from severe hypothermia and had lost feeling in his legs. He provided immediate assistance by replacing Mr. Washburn's wet clothing with his own and carried him approximately 100 yards to safety.

Trooper May's quick and decisive actions not only exemplified the dedication of an Alabama State Trooper but also played a crucial role in saving Mr. Washburn's life. The resolution expresses the House of Representatives' gratitude and admiration for Trooper May's extraordinary conduct and recognizes his commitment to public service.
