  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Jeanne Power, and thank her for the extraordinary 
contributions she has made to the community of Steamboat Springs and 
the State of Colorado. Jeanne has spent her life assisting others, and 
her dedication and selflessness is a shining example to all Americans.
  After graduating from the University of Wyoming, Jeanne returned to 
her home in Steamboat Springs, where she became a member of

the Routt County Search and Rescue team. Later, she joined Steamboat 
Springs Ambulance as an Emergency Medical Technician. Five years ago, 
Jeanne found her true calling when she became the city's only female 
firefighter.
  Jeanne now serves the City of Steamboat Springs as a paramedic and 
firefighter. In such a high-pressure career, she has managed to achieve 
a delicate balance between her fun-loving attitude and intense 
dedication to serving others.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I bring the life and spirit 
of an incredible woman to the attention of this body of Congress. 
Jeanne Power has dedicated her life to the betterment of others, and 
she is truly a tremendous asset to her city, state and country. Jeanne, 
I thank you for your service.
