                    CELEBRATING PARAMEDIC ROGER SWOR

  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Roger Swor, a 
paramedic from my district who has dedicated his life to providing 
exceptional emergency medical care.
  Roger is now the longest-serving street paramedic in Minnesota and 
was recently honored by the National Registry of Emergency Medical 
Technicians for achieving 40 years of National EMS Certification. This 
is a distinction held by very few EMS professionals.
  Roger has answered tens of thousands of 911 calls in his career. He 
has done everything from holding dying crash victims in his arms to 
delivering babies. As described by his nephew, Adam, who served many 
shifts alongside his uncle, ``Roger is universally regarded as the 
paramedic you want to see when you are in trouble.''
  On behalf of Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District, I 
congratulate Roger on his recent achievement and thank him for his 
professional service.
  Paramedic Roger Swor, you are the best of the best.
