                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 18, 2021

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Paul, Phillip, 
Patrick, and Benjamin Motylinski of Dundee, Michigan. Their heroic 
efforts are worthy of commendation.
  On Sunday, February 29th Paul Motylinski was driving down Custer Road 
in Monroe County, Michigan when he noticed someone had fallen through 
the ice of a nearby pond. He responded quickly by calling 911 and 
phoning his brothers who were at his mother's house nearby.
  Together, the brothers got a hold of a small boat to help get the 
victim out of the water. As two of them used the boat to reach the 
victim, the other two brothers used a rope to pull them all back to 
shore.
  The eighty-one year old man was taken to ProMedica Hospital in Monroe 
and is expected to recover fully thanks to the life-saving efforts of 
the Motylinski brothers.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in thanking the 
Motylinski brothers for their efforts that saved a life. We are 
grateful for Benjamin and Paul Motylinskis continued service to the 
Michigan community in their role as firefighters with the Dundee 
Township Fire Department and also to Phillip and Patrick Motylunski for 
rising to the occasion when lives were at stake. I am proud to 
commemorate their efforts here today.
