           RECOGNIZING THE PENNDEL-MIDDLETOWN EMERGENCY SQUAD

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. MURPHY

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 19, 2009

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor the Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad for 50 years of 
distinguished service to Middletown Township and its adjoining 
boroughs. Since their inception as a non-profit emergency ambulance 
service in 1959, they have selflessly served tens of thousands of 
residents in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad has come quite a long way since 
its incorporation. Their first ambulance was a used 1947 Cadillac-
Superior Coach, and now their purpose is to provide the best and most 
modern emergency care and transportation that can be made available. 
The Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad also offers education and 
training to the community for first aid and emergency care.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join me in recognizing the Penndel-
Middletown Emergency Squad for their 50 years of service to Middletown 
Township and the neighboring boroughs of Hulmeville, Langhorne, 
Langhorne Manor and Penndel, an area of more than 25 square miles. I am 
honored to serve as their Congressman.
