HONORING VINCENT C. McMAHON
(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 honor the life and legacy of
Vincent C. McMahon, a proud son of New City, a veteran of the United
States Army, and a decorated lieutenant of the FDNY.
Vincent lived a life of service to his country, his city, and his
community. He was a member of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, a 25-year
firefighter with the FDNY, and a first responder at Ground Zero after
the attacks on September 11. Vinny never turned away from a call to
serve. He gave everything, including his health, for the safety and
well-being of others.
Beyond the uniform, Vincent was a brother, a husband, a neighbor, and
a friend. He was a fixture at the Pearl River Elks, The American
Legion, and the Knights of Columbus, and he never stopped giving back.
To his wife, Haley, and his entire family, on behalf of a grateful
community and Nation, thank you for sharing Vinny with all of us. We
will never forget his sacrifice, and we will carry forward his example
of courage and commitment.
May he rest in peace.
