  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Oldenburg Indiana 
Volunteer Fire Department's 150 years of service to the community.
  Being a volunteer firefighter is a special calling. These brave men 
and women who serve obviously don't do it for the money. They volunteer 
for this job because they love their community and want to give back.
  Firefighters put their lives on the line every day to protect their 
neighbors. And, for that, their community owes them a tremendous debt 
of gratitude.
  It is my privilege to recognize Oldenburg's courageous firefighters 
for their dedication and to recognize the Oldenburg Indiana Volunteer 
Fire Department for 150 years of service to the community.
