    CONGRATULATING HOT SPRINGS VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD ON THEIR 60TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Hot Springs Volunteer 
Rescue Squad for 60 years of serving the people of Bath County.
  Since 1963, the Hot Springs Rescue Squad has provided emergency 
medical services to its citizens including cardiac care, cave rescue, 
vehicle rescue, search and rescue, and water rescue, along with 
treatment and transport for medical and trauma patients.
  With 1 paramedic, 3 intermediate, 6 advanced, 5 drivers, and 20 basic 
providers, the squad responds to multiple calls for service weekly, and 
each one of the team members conducts their job professionally and 
swiftly.
  Throughout its history, the Hot Springs Rescue Squad and its members 
have been nominated and received multiple awards, including the first-
place trophy at the State EMT competition in Roanoke.
  The Squad's longevity stands as a testament to the civic spirit of 
the town and an example we should all follow: to always lend a helping 
hand.
  I congratulate again the Hot Springs Volunteer Rescue Squad on their 
60th anniversary, and I wish them many more years of success.
