  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Dave Peoples for his

decades of service to the Huntingdon County community as he retires 
from the Juniata Valley Emergency Medical Service.
  After volunteering for the fire department, Dave began his tenure as 
an EMT in 1979. During his time as a first responder, he has witnessed 
remarkable advancements in his profession. While the role of EMTs has 
changed over the years, the need for compassionate and capable 
providers has not.
  Throughout his career, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Dave has 
remained a vital and consistent presence in the Huntingdon County EMS 
community, mentoring new EMTs and providing outstanding patient care.
  For more than four decades, Dave Peoples' steadfast service has saved 
lives and benefitted the people of Huntingdon County. As this local 
hero retires following 42 years of service with the Juniata Valley and 
Huntingdon Emergency Medical Services, it is my honor to recognize his 
leadership, dedication, and grace under pressure. I thank Dave and his 
family for his many contributions to our community, and I wish him and 
the Peoples family every continued happiness in the chapters to come.
