            RECOGNIZING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF JARED LLOYD

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize a fallen hero from 
Rockland County.
  Two years ago yesterday, Jared Lloyd went to the Columbian Engine 
Company No. 1 firehouse, like he had hundreds of times before, to help 
keep our community safe.
  He did not know that it would be his last call when he and his 
company were called to the Evergreen Court Adult Home in Spring Valley 
to combat a fire that started, putting the lives of hundreds of elderly 
residents at risk.
  He, along with hundreds of other first responders, descended on the 
scene, running headlong into the building that was becoming engulfed 
with flames. Together, they saved over 100 lives that day, a heroic 
feat.
  Tragically, Jared lost his life in this effort, which serves as a 
stark reminder of the incredible bravery shown by all of our first 
responders in the Hudson Valley and across our Nation, but especially 
our volunteer firefighters.

  Thank you, Jared. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and 
your example. I know all of Rockland mourns you today and every day, 
and we will always be there to support your family, including your two 
incredible sons.
