                        Wednesday, July 21, 2010

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Edward 
Klosterman, a dedicated community servant and a lifetime member of the 
Pewee Valley Fire Department from the Fourth District.
  Ed Klosterman was born and raised in Crestwood, Kentucky along with 
his fourteen siblings. He attended Carroll County Vocational School and 
graduated from Oldham County High School in 1975.
  Ed became a member of the Pewee Valley Fire Department before 
completing high school. As a dedicated community servant with the fire 
department, Ed served as a firefighter, instructor, lieutenant, 
training officer, fire inspector and engineer. When the Fire Department 
outgrew its old station Ed was pivotal in helping design the new fire 
station and oversaw its construction.
  Ed has received numerous awards from the fire department and has been 
designated a lifetime member. His retirement on July 14, 2010 was also 
the 36th anniversary of his joining the Pewee Valley Fire Department.
  Ed is the proud father of three children. His daughter Anastasia is a 
student at the University of Louisville Speed School. His twin sons, 
Alexander and Andrew followed in their father's footsteps as members of 
the Pewee Valley Fire Department. They have enlisted in the United 
States Air Force and begin their basic training this September.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in commending Ed Klosterman and in 
offering him our sincerest thanks for his years of service to Pewee 
Valley, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the United States of America.
