                        Wednesday, June 1, 2011

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Sayreville 
Emergency Squad as its members celebrate the organization's 75th 
Anniversary. Sayreville Emergency Services faithfully serves local 
residents, businesses and visitors throughout Sayreville, New Jersey. 
Their honorable actions are undoubtedly deserving of this body's 
recognition.
  The Sayreville Emergency Squad is an all volunteer organization 
founded in 1936 to serve the emergency medical needs of the residents 
of Sayreville. Many of the services provided by the Emergency Squad, 
which include emergency medical services, low angle rope rescue, and 
water/boat rescue, are free of charge to the residents. All operating 
costs are paid for through the generous donations of Sayreville 
residents. The formidable men and women of this organization are New 
Jersey State EMT Certified and respond to over 3,500 calls for 
assistance each year. Volunteers sacrifice holidays and time with their 
family to assist those in need of emergency medical assistance, many 
times in harsh weather conditions. This non-profit volunteer 
organization continues to provide superior quality emergency medical 
and technical support and is a shining example of what steadfast 
commitment and dedication can accomplish.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the Sayreville Emergency 
Services on its 75th Anniversary in thanking the men and women who have 
faithfully served and protected the Borough of Sayreville.
