                        Thursday, July 17, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a solemn heart that I stand 
before this body of Congress and this nation today to pay tribute to 
the life and legacy of Dan Foulk, an outstanding citizen from my 
district who recently passed away. Dan was a member of the Pueblo Rural 
Fire Department and he will be remembered as a dedicated firefighter, 
loyal friend, and committed father.
  As a member of the Pueblo Rural Fire Department, Dan spent his life 
protecting the community he loved. Dan was an Assistant Chief for the 
Department and was hired as their first Fire Marshal in 2001. Dan was 
able to accomplish both jobs simultaneously, working hard to insure the 
safety of his community. Dan was honored to be able to perform both of 
these duties. He loved being a fireman, and he loved protecting Pueblo. 
This dedication made Dan a role model in the Pueblo Fire Department. 
When not working to protect the community, Dan was at home with his 
family. He was blessed with a lovely wife, five children, and ten 
grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Dan Foulk before this 
body of Congress and this nation. His hard work, enthusiastic attitude, 
and leadership will be missed. Dan will forever be remembered for the 
contributions he provided his community and I am sorry for his loss. My 
thoughts and prayers go out to Dan's family, friends, and his coworkers 
on the Pueblo Rural Fire Department.
