House Resolution 123, sponsored by Representative Lafferty, honors Robert Dial for his heroic actions during a medical emergency on a flight from Knoxville to Orlando. When a fellow passenger experienced a critical health crisis, Dial, who is trained in emergency response, along with a nurse, promptly responded to the call for help. They worked together to administer first aid and Dial performed CPR for an hour and a half, ultimately helping to save the passenger's life until the plane landed and emergency services arrived.

The resolution commends Dial for his professionalism, compassion, and exemplary service as a first responder, highlighting the importance of such individuals in times of crisis. It expresses gratitude for his dedication and acknowledges the pride that the state of Tennessee takes in citizens like him who act selflessly to assist others in distress. The resolution concludes with a directive to prepare an appropriate copy for presentation.
