                       Tuesday, October 25, 2011

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Trappe Fire 
Company on its 100th anniversary of selfless dedication and commitment 
to its community.
  This is a great milestone and a considerable accomplishment and I 
take great pleasure in being able to help honor the men and women of 
the Trappe Fire Company for their dedication and outstanding service.
  For 100 years, the officers, firefighters, fire police and ambulance 
corps of Trappe Fire Company have proudly and capably served and 
protected the thousands of citizens of Montgomery County, including 
Trappe and Collegeville Boroughs and the Townships of Upper Providence, 
Perkiomen, Skippack, and Limerick. 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.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
Trappe Fire Company on its 100th anniversary and to honor this 
exemplary organization for its commitment, dedication, and outstanding 
history of service to its community.
