                      HONORING FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS

                                 ______


                            HON. CURT WELDON

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 14, 1994

    
    
  Mr. WELDON. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I took 1 minute to honor the 
firefighters who gave their lives in the line of duty as they fought 
the forest fire in the South Canyon of Glenwood Springs, CO. At that 
time, the Speaker pro tempore granted me the opportunity to insert the 
names of these fallen firefighters into the Congressional Record once 
they were available to me. I would like to take that opportunity at 
this time.
  These firefighters are heroes who died while fighting to protect the 
lives and property of Americans. I hope we all will take the 
opportunity to recognize the selflessness and the risks faced by 
America's first responders in each of our communities everyday. In 
addition, I ask you to please join me by including in your prayers the 
following firefighters who lost their lives in the South Canyon fire 
and their families: Don Mackey; Roger Roth; James Thrash; Richard 
Tyler; Robert Browning; Jon Kelso; Kathi Beck; Scott Blecha; Levi 
Brinkley; Bonnie Holtby; Rob Johnson; Tami Bickett; Doug Dunbar, and 
Terri Hagen.
