  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
West Webster Volunteer Firemen's Association as it celebrates 100 years 
of dedicated service to the Webster community and Monroe County, New 
York.
  Established in 1926 by a group of committed local volunteers, the 
West Webster Volunteer Firemen's Association was founded to provide 
reliable emergency protection to a rapidly growing community. Over the 
past century, the organization has grown into a highly respected fire 
service institution, while remaining proudly volunteer-led and deeply 
rooted in the spirit of public service and community responsibility.
  For generations, the firefighters and volunteers of West Webster have 
answered emergency calls with courage, professionalism, and compassion. 
Whether responding to fires, medical emergencies, rescue operations, or 
marine incidents along Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay, these 
dedicated men and women have consistently placed the safety and 
wellbeing of their neighbors above their own. Their service reflects 
the highest ideals of volunteerism and civic duty.
  The Association's impact extends far beyond emergency response. 
Through fire prevention education, community outreach, youth 
engagement, and participation in local events, West Webster 
firefighters have built lasting relationships throughout the community 
and strengthened the bonds that make Webster such a special place to 
call home. Their century of service stands as a powerful testament to 
the enduring importance of volunteer fire departments across our 
Nation.
  It is with great pride and appreciation that I recognize the West 
Webster Volunteer Firemen's Association on the occasion of its 100th 
anniversary. I thank all current and former firefighters, volunteers, 
officers, and their families for a century of extraordinary service, 
sacrifice, and dedication to the people of Webster, and I wish the 
Association continued success for generations to come.
