                       Tuesday, January 12, 2010

  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I pay 
tribute to Mr. Robert Ammon for his 50 years of service as a member of 
the Corfu Fire Department in the village of Corfu, New York.
  Over his five decades of service with the Department, Bob has held 
numerous leadership positions with the volunteer Department, including 
President, Vice-President, Trustee, Chairman of Carnivals and Parade 
Chairman.
  In addition to his various official leadership roles, Bob has also 
been instrumental in numerous other community and fundraising events, 
including raising funds for the original building that housed the Corfu 
Fire Department and also for finalizing the sale of the Department's 
current facility.
  Bob is a true hero who has risked his life countless times over the 
course of his service to the department and community. The village of 
Corfu is fortunate to have the Corfu Fire Department serving the 
community, and to have had Bob as part of the department for the last 
50 years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that the House join me in recognizing Bob 
Ammon's 50 years of dedicated service to the community.
