                        Wednesday, June 12, 2002

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the officers 
and members of Rescue Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 of Roslyn. This year, 
Rescue Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 will celebrate its 150th anniversary, 
making it one of the oldest fire companies in the State of New York.
  Rescue Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1, since the introduction of its Charter 
by the Assembly of the State of New York in 1866, has shown heroic 
dedication to the Roslyn community. It is this untiring commitment at 
the moment of utmost danger that has forever unified Rescue Hook & 
Ladder Co. No. 1 with the families it so ably protects.
  Moreover, the officers and members of Rescue Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 
are proud of their legacy and achievement within the Roslyn community. 
They are committed to maintaining their reputation for only the highest 
standards long into the future.
  To the officers and members of Rescue Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 and to 
the memory of all the fallen firefighters, who sacrificed their lives 
to preserve our freedom during the terrorist attacks of September 11, I 
ask my colleagues to join me in commemorating this historic 
anniversary.
