                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 22, 2015

  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the firefighters and 
paramedics of the East Joliet Fire Protection District and to recognize 
the past 75 years of service to the community of Joliet, Illinois.
  Since the formation of the East Joliet Fire Protection District in 
1940, the protection of our community has been in the hands of truly 
dedicated volunteers and professionals. With each alarm, the 
firefighters, paramedics and support staff of the East Joliet Fire 
Protection District perform heroic acts to save lives and protect 
property. If not for its service, many businesses, homes, and members 
of our community would not be here today.
  I would like to thank the members of the East Joliet Fire Protection 
District for all that they do to protect the community they have set 
out to serve.
