                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the tremendous 
work of some of my constituents at the Loudoun First Responders. The 
Loudoun First Responders exemplify the very best of the traditions of 
public service to their community. Their dedication to a high standard 
of conduct allows them to remain fearless while making a positive 
impact in the lives of their neighbors.
  Becoming a First Responder takes unwavering devotion. The Loudoun 
First Responders answer the calls of their neighbors in need with a 
limited amount of equipment, all while providing efficient and 
immediate care to ill and injured patients. These individuals are 
responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, and 
the environment. They constantly adapt to function in uncommon 
situations in order to keep my constituents safe.
  Within the Loudoun First Responders, the Loudoun County Sheriff's 
Office, the Leesburg Police Department, the Middleburg Police 
Department, the Purcellville Police Department, the Department of Fire, 
Rescue, and Emergency Management, our healthcare providers, as well as 
16 volunteer fire-rescue corporations operating out of 19 stations all 
work tirelessly to protect our citizens. These individuals' dedication 
and skills greatly impact the community in which they serve. We readily 
commend them for their hard work and sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker, I now ask that my colleagues join me in thanking the 
Loudoun First Responders for the outstanding service they have 
provided, and continue to provide, to our great Commonwealth. I wish 
them the best as they continue to serve and protect all in Virginia's 
10th Congressional District
