                         Tuesday, May 22, 2018

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain Theodore 
Moran of the Oak Lawn Fire Department for being named the village's Top 
Firefighter of 2018. The Oak Lawn Lion's Club bestows this award on a 
distinguished member of the department after being nominated by his or 
her peers and selected by a committee of fire department leaders.
   Captain Moran has distinguished himself on numerous occasions, 
putting his life on the line for residents of Oak Lawn. In 2014, he was 
awarded the Fire Department's Medal of Honor Award and he continues to 
serve the community with distinction. Captain Moran is a superb example 
of the Oak Lawn Fire Department's motto ``The Desire to Serve--The 
Courage to Act--The Ability to Perform.''
   I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Captain Theodore Moran of 
the Oak Lawn Fire Department. I congratulate him on his accomplishments 
and thank him for his service.
