HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE. I WOULD
LIKE TO RECOGNIZE SENATOR RUBIO
WHO WILL BE- COOPER WILL BE
OPERATING A AT THE MAJORITY
FLOOR LEADER'S DESK. THANK YOU
MADAM PRESIDENT LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE. TODAY I
RISE WITH GREAT HONOR TO WELCOME
AN EXTRAORDINARY YOUNG MAN BY
THE NAME OF BRANDON CITING.
BRANDON IS TWENTY SIX YEARS OLD
HE HAS A SON TO YVONNE WAY FONG
ELAINE AND TOM SIDE. A BROTHER
TO BRENDA SIGN AND A SPIRAL
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER AND AS OF
JANUARY TWENTY FIRST THE STATE
AND NATIONAL HERO AS HE SAVED
MANY LIVES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND
IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY YOUNG MAN
HE PAUSED HIS ACADEMIC PURSUITS
OF STUDY COMPUTER SCIENCE AT
PASADENA COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO BE
ALONGSIDE HIS MOTHER. IN TAIWAN
SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE
THREE LUNG CANCER WHEN BRANDON
WAS A COLLEGE FRESHMAN HE PUT
HIS COLLEGE PURSUITS ASIDE TO
CARE FOR HIM HIS MOTHER. RENDON
WAS KNOWN FOR PUTTING HIS NEEDS
. ASIDE TO HELP OTHERS AND IT
WAS NO DIFFERENT WHEN IT CAME TO
HIS OWN MOM HE'S SO SELFLESSLY
PUT HIS CLOSEST SITE TO MAKE
SURE THAT SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF
AND THAT SHE BECAME THE FOCUS.
UNFORTUNATELY HIS MOTHER PASSED
AWAY IN DECEMBER TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. BUT I AM SURE THAT
SHE'S LOOKING DOWN ON HIM WITH
OVERWHELMING PRIDE AND
SATISFACTION AND WHAT A GREAT
YOUNG MAN SHE RACED. TODAY IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ME THAT I TALK
ABOUT HIS UPBRINGING AND HIS
STRUGGLES BECAUSE DURING
DIFFICULT TIMES IT CAN BE
TEMPTING TO GIVE UP. BRANDON
DIDN'T GIVE UP HE SPENT
COUNTLESS HOURS VOLUNTEERING
WITH HIS. GRANDPARENTS AT A
DANCE STUDIO THAT THEY FOUND IT
. HIS DETERMINATION. IS
UNWAVERING. BRANDON ALWAYS
WANTED TO HELP HIS COMMUNITY.
BRANDON ALWAYS REMEMBERS
SPENDING MANY TIMES NOT ONLY
WITH HIS PEOPLE OR HIS PEERS.
BUT THE OLDER GENERATION AND AS
WE KNOW THE DANCE ROOM WAS FOR
THOSE. OF ELDERLY AGE TICKLING
CALIBER AND BECOME COMMUNITY AND
HAVE SOMETHING TO DO AFTER HOURS
HE EXEMPLIFIES RESILIENCE
COMPASSION STRENGTH. TRACES
FAMILY MUST BE SO PROUD OF.
TRAITS THAT WE SHOULD ALL ASPIRE
TO HALF. RENDON KEPT GOING. AND
AGAIN ALWAYS FOUND OPPORTUNITIES
TO VOLUNTEER HE USED TO VISIT
FREQUENTLY. IS COMMUNITY WITH
HIS MOTHER SO AS WE KNOW HIS
MOTHER WAS ALWAYS IN THE CENTER
OF HIS LIFE. HIS ENVIRONMENT
SHAPE THE AMAZING HUMAN BEING HE
HAS BECOME. AND THAT'S
INCREDIBLE YOUNG MAN IS STANDING
HERE WITH US TODAY. I KNOW MANY
OF US ARE SURPRISE HE LAUNCHED
AT THE PERPETRATOR AS
INSTINCTIVELY AS HE DID. AS I
KNOW MANY OF US. MAY HAVE NOT.
BUT HE KNEW ONE THING AND THAT
WAS THAT THERE WERE STILL PEOPLE
IN THAT DANCE BALLROOM AND HE
WANTED TO MAKE SURE. THAT
NOTHING HAPPENED TO THEM SO
INSTEAD OF RUNNING HE STAYED
BEHIND TO PROTECT THEM. ONCE
AGAIN. NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD
HAVE STATE. BRANDON DOES NOT SEE
HIMSELF AS A HERO BUT NOT ONLY
IS HE CALIFORNIA'S HERO BUT THE
NATION'S HERO. HE IS SO
DESERVING OF THIS RECOGNITION
AND WE ARE SO PROUD TO HAVE
SOMEONE LIKE BRANDED HIS
CALIBER. HERE IN OUR STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HE'S AN INDIVIDUAL
WHO WOULD PUT HIS PURSUITS ASIDE
TO TAKE CARE OF OTHERS. AND AS
WE WITNESS ON THE TAPE. ON THAT
FATEFUL NIGHT. AN INDIVIDUAL
THAT WANTED TO PROTECT HIS
COMMUNITY. THANKS TO BRANDON WE
WILL NEVER KNOW. THE EXTENT THE
FULL EXTENT OF THE DANGER THAT
KILLER POSED. I TRULY BELIEVE
HAPARANDA NOT STOP THE KILLER HE
WOULD HAVE CONTINUED ON A
RAMPAGE AS IT WAS HIS SECOND
LOCATION HE WAS AT. IT WAS
BECAUSE OF BRANDON STOPPING HIM
AND TAKING THE WEAPON AWAY THAT
MADE IT EASIER FOR THE POLICE TO
LOCATE THE PERPETRATOR. I DO
BELIEVE THAT WE GROW UP THINKING
THAT HEROES WEAR CAPES. IN THIS
CASE BRANDON DOESN'T WEAR A CAPE
BUT HE IS STILL OUR HERO.
MEMBERS PLEASE HELP ME GIVING
HIM A REALLY WARM WELCOME
BRANDON SIGN.
