                       Tuesday, December 5, 1995

  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and 
recognition of Mr. William F. Armstrong and 1995 marks Mr. Armstrong's 
50th anniversary of being founder and president of Armstrong Ambulance 
Services.
  Mr. Armstrong is certainly dedicated. He dutifully served his tour of 
duty in the U.S. Marine Corps. Upon his return, he established his very 
own ambulatory service. This personal service currently thrives as the 
Armstrong Ambulance Service.
  Mr. Armstrong's perseverance and hard work to benefit and safeguard 
the well-being of others is exemplary. He lived on call for others 24 
hours a day, for over five decades.

Due to his unwavering leadership, Armstrong Ambulance Service has grown 
to accommodate the medical transportation for over 40,000 people a year 
in the Greater Boston area.
  I applaud the accomplishments of Mr. Armstrong. His special evening 
of recognition on December 16, 1995, will be a perfect opportunity to 
reflect upon such a joyous occasion with family and friends. I would 
like to extend my deepest congratulations to Mr. William F. Armstrong. 
His 50th anniversary of serving others is truly commendable and is a 
fine example of the notion of community.
