  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to two 
outstanding guardians of public safety from Cicero, IL. Firefighter 
Michael Piekarski and Police Detective Darlene Sobczak, who were 
recently recognized by the Cicero Lions Club on Lions Club World 
Service Day.
  Firefighter Piekarski and Detective Sobczak were honored for their 
outstanding contributions as part of the Lions Clubs' effort to 
recognize those who risk their lives to protect their fellow citizens.
  Mr. Speaker, I, too, congratulate these two fine public servants on 
this award and extend thanks on behalf of all my fellow citizens for 
their efforts and those of their colleagues who protect our lives and 
property.
