CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LINCOLN PARK EMERGENCY MEDICAL 
                           SERVICES SQUADRON

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 2, 2015

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Lincoln Park Emergency Medical Services as they celebrate their 50th 
Anniversary. I also want to thank all of the men and women who have 
given so much to their community through their work on the EMS Squad.
  Since May of 1965, the EMS Squadron in The Borough of Lincoln Park, 
New Jersey, has served their community faithfully and has always 
answered the call to duty.
  Their job is not an easy one in any sense of the word. They are at 
their best when situations are at their worst. Squad members are state-
certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), and they help those who 
are most in need of medical attention, no matter how big or small the 
issue. Not only is the work they do remarkable, but what is even more 
astonishing is the fact that these heroes are all volunteers.
  Their task is difficult enough having to take care of one patient at 
a time. But it becomes especially daunting when considering Lincoln 
Park Borough's population is over 10,000, and continues to grow every 
year. It takes dedicated men and women to go above and beyond the call 
of duty to serve a community of that size, and there is nobody more 
capable than those individuals in the Lincoln Park EMS.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to join me in thanking and 
recognizing the amazing men and women of the Lincoln Park Emergency 
Medical Services Squadron.
