  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of David Thiesen, who 
passed away on February 8, 1998. David gave his life in the line of 
duty, battling a fire. His life was dedicated to helping others.
  David was a kind and caring individual. Those that knew him also knew 
that firefighting was in his blood. David was always around to lend a 
helping hand with a smile. He dedicated his life to the fire 
department.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to pay my last respects to a 
man who gave so much of himself to his country, his community and his 
family. David will be missed by all whose lives he touched. I am 
honored to have represented him and proud to call him a constituent.
