             RECOGNIZING UNION COUNTY WEST END FIRE COMPANY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize Union County West End Fire Company for 75 years of dedicated 
service to the community.
  Founded in 1950, the Union County West End Fire Company has been 
answering the call to serve the community and protect their neighbors 
in times of need. Our volunteer firefighters provide fire, rescue, and 
EMS services, often balancing it with day jobs and family commitments.
  These professionally trained volunteers are the backbone of fire 
protection and emergency response, especially in our rural communities. 
They are there in emergency situations like fires, car accidents, 
medical calls, and disaster response. Their commitment to service and 
teamwork is second to none.
  The Union County West End Fire Company gives back throughout the 
year, whether it is delivering turkeys to families during the holidays, 
escorting local sports teams to the final round of playoff games, or 
celebrating championship wins. They truly are the heart of the 
community.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the Union County West End Fire Company 
on 75 years of outstanding service.
