                   HONORING LIEUTENANT SARAH McCARTHY

  (Mr. ONDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ONDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lieutenant Sarah 
McCarthy, who recently passed in the line of duty while serving the St. 
Charles County Ambulance District. As a former physician, I know 
firsthand the dedication and compassion required of those who answer 
the call in our emergency medical services, and Sarah lived that 
calling for 23 years.
  Her final act of generosity as an organ donor reminds us, once again, 
of her deep commitment to saving lives, even in her final moments. 
Throughout her service, she cared for thousands of patients, 
contributed proudly to the St. Charles County Honor Guard, and played 
an important role in the STARS program supporting children with special 
medical needs.
  Her colleagues remember her as someone who never hesitated to step 
forward for those in need. Lieutenant McCarthy embodied the very best 
of her profession, and she will be deeply missed.
