                         Thursday, May 20, 2021

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Firefighter Amber Homa for her 15 years of service with the Meyersdale 
Volunteer Fire Department in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
  Firefighters' commitment and service to our community are invaluable. 
Volunteer firefighters often are called on to respond to emergencies of 
all types. From battling structure fires to conducting search and 
rescue operations, volunteer firefighters respond immediately whenever 
disaster strikes. These heroes often go above and beyond--they teach 
first aid, educate students about fire and other dangerous hazards, and 
even install car safety seats for children. Through their diverse and 
often-difficult work, volunteer firefighters provide lifesaving 
services and are a staple of our local community.
  Firefighter Homa has worked throughout her career to serve the people 
of Somerset County. On behalf of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional 
District, I thank her for her work to protect life and property in our 
community and wish her continued health, safety, and success.
