  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Lenola Volunteer Fire Company on their 100-year anniversary of service 
to the Moorestown community, and New Jersey's 3rd District.
  Since its informal founding in 1922 out of one of the first 
volunteers' houses to its firehouse location today, the Lenola 
Volunteer Fire Company has been dedicated to protecting the Moorestown 
area and saving countless lives in our community. As a fully volunteer-
led fire company, with some being the 2nd or 3rd generations of fire 
fighters in their families, each member has devoted their time and 
service to the safety of our neighbors. Whether it be major fires, car 
accidents, or various incidents in between, members of the Lenola 
Volunteer Fire Company have consistently answered the call to service 
in people's times of need.
  Over the years, the Lenola Volunteer Fire Company has been recognized 
by many as a pillar of community building in our district.

While they have been there to help in times of emergency, they have 
also provided numerous programs and events for community outreach for 
people to enjoy. From their 69-year-old Easter egg hunt to various 
other Moorestown traditions, you can often find Lenola Volunteer Fire 
Company supporting other local activities.
  Not only have volunteers gained recognition by residents in the 
Moorestown area, but they have also been recognized throughout the 
state of New Jersey for their skills in the field and years of service. 
Across all of New Jersey, Lenola Volunteer Fire Company is well-known 
for their outstanding accomplishments in fire truck musters and 
competing with various fire departments across the state. Awarded the 
Presidents Trophy four times, with 3 of those being in consecutive 
years, Lenola Volunteer Fire Company has showcased the success and 
expertise of their firefighters year after year.
  Our volunteer firefighters are integral to building and maintaining 
the safer, more secure, and more connected communities we wish to live 
in. On the centennial anniversary of the Lenola Volunteer Fire Company, 
I thank each of their volunteers over the years for their service to 
our communities.
