                         HONORING ALLAN SEEBACH

  (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, I rise today to honor a remarkable 
constituent and community leader Allan Seebach, Sr., of Tappan, New 
York.
  Allan is a lifelong resident of Tappan and a U.S. Navy veteran who 
served our Nation during the Korean war. His service didn't stop when 
he returned home. In fact, it was just getting started.
  He joined the Volunteer Fire Association of Tappan in 1950, and for 
nearly 75 years, he has been a cornerstone of the department. Allan 
served as chief of the Tappan Fire Department from 1965 to 1968 and 
again from 1972 to 1974. He later became fire commissioner, a role he 
held for 27 years, 13 of them as chairman of the district.
  Allan's leadership, mentorship, and tireless dedication to the safety 
and well-being of his neighbors have left a lasting mark, not only on 
the department, but on the entire Tappan community. As one local fire 
leader put it, Allan Seebach is the Tappan Fire Department.
  I thank Allan for everything he has done for the people of Tappan, of 
Rockland County, and of New York's 17th District. His legacy of service 
is the best of who we are, and I am proud to call him a friend.
