                         Tuesday, July 7, 2015

  Ms. PINGREE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a dedicated 
public servant and committed firefighter.
  On August 6, 1955, Harold Drinkwater joined the Camden Fire 
Department, just after returning from the Korean War. His leadership 
and bravery served as inspirations to every member of the department, 
and he was soon promoted to Assistant Fire Chief. Nearly sixty years 
later, Harold continues to serve the Department.
  I know that the Fire Department is deeply grateful for Harold's 
heroism and commitment to his community. When the Department received 
its most recent engine, Camden's firefighters chose to honor Harold by 
placing his name on the truck. This summer, the Department plans to 
recognize him at their annual family picnic.
  I wish Harold the best as he continues to serve the Town of Camden, 
and I thank him wholeheartedly for his many years of service to his 
town and to our nation.
