            WEEHAWKEN VOLUNTEER FIRST AID SQUAD ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to the Weehawken, NJ, Volunteer First Aid Squad. The squad 
will celebrate its 25th anniversary on April 9 with an anniversary 
dinner and dance.
  The residents of a community which is served by a volunteer rescue 
squad sometimes forget that their lifeline may depend on a neighbor's 
commitment to a call for service. The members of the Weekhawken 
Volunteer First Aid Squad are selfless in the time that they 
contribute, both in manning the station and in the preparation which 
they have completed in order to serve as members of a rescue squad.
  I would be remiss if I did not also mention the sacrifice and 
commitment of the families of these men and women who spend hours each 
week away from their homes in order to serve their community
  The members of the Weehawken Rescue Squad indeed merit recognition on 
this occasion. The 25th anniversary celebration of the work of the 
Weehawken Rescue Squad demonstrates the true warmth and commitment of 
its members, past and present. Mr. Speaker, I know that they will have 
another 25 years of proud service to the citizens of Weehawken.
