                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 7, 2011

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lionville Fire 
Company on its 100th anniversary of selfless dedication and commitment 
to the community.
  This is a great milestone and a momentous accomplishment and I take 
great pleasure in being able to honor the men and women of the 
Lionville Fire Company for their dedication and outstanding service.
  For 100 years, the officers, firefighters, and fire police of 
Lionville Fire Company have proudly and capably served and protected 
the thousands of citizens of Chester County, including the Townships of 
Upper Uwchlan, Uwchlan, and West Pikeland. They have always answered 
the call to help their neighbors in distress, whether it is putting out 
a fire, aiding those whose homes have flooded, or rescuing animals. 
During these years of service, the Company has also lost the lives of 
fallen firefighters as they have answered the call. Special tribute 
needs to be paid to these brave servants: Charles Martin, Jonathan 
Windle and David Good.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
Lionville Fire Company on its 100th anniversary and to honor this 
exemplary organization for its commitment, dedication, and outstanding 
history of service to the community.
