                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 4, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kim Witcraft of 
Charles City, Iowa for his achievement as a 2010 Stars of Life award 
recipient.
  The Stars of Life award publicly recognizes and celebrates the 
achievements of all people working in the selfless and heroic ambulance 
industry. The Stars of Life Program seeks to honor outstanding 
individuals as a thank you for their service, their sacrifice and the 
inspiration they bring to all Americans.
  Kim has been recognized as a hero who has assumed several roles to 
ensure that the American Ambulance Association's Charles City small 
operation succeeds and continues to provide much needed help to area 
citizens. He is a state-certified EMS instructor and handles all 
clinical and education services and schedules most of the trainings for 
his operation. Kim also handles safety training for fifth and sixth 
graders in the area and presents many safety talks each year to Iowa 
elementary school students.
  I know that my colleagues in Congress join me in congratulating and 
thanking Kim Witcraft, one of Iowa and America's everyday heroes for 
his service and his constant consideration for the well-being of others 
in his community.
