   HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF CAPTAIN DANNIE NELSON WILSON, JR.

  (Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Captain Dannie Nelson Wilson, Jr., who passed away after a 
brave battle with cancer.
  Dannie was a devoted husband to Tara, a supportive stepfather to 
Matthew, a loving father to Dannie III and Morgan, and an adoring Pap 
to Lillian and Ryann.
  Dannie first joined the Loudoun County Volunteer Fire and Rescue 
service in 1989 as a volunteer. In 2000, he became a career 
firefighter, serving our community at various stations. He rose the 
ranks over his decades of service and ended up as a captain.

  Captain Wilson will be remembered by colleagues for his depth of 
knowledge and experience, for his toughness, and also for his heart of 
gold. He expected a lot from his crew, but he also created a fun 
atmosphere to work in.
  Captain Wilson's legacy of service, humility, and devotion will 
continue to resonate in Loudoun County and beyond.
  May we keep his family in our prayers and honor his memory by 
carrying forward the values he lived by.
