                   MEDIC RESCUE'S 25 YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 3, 2003

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, on September 12th, I will have the honor of 
paying tribute to some of my district's most vital heroes in a ceremony 
commemorating Medic Rescue's 25 years of service. The professionals of 
Medic Rescue, based in Bridgewater, PA provided life-sustaining medical 
services and emergency transport to more than 40,000 citizens in my 
district last year.
  In addition to commending their commitment to service, the staff of 
Medic Rescue should also be praised for their efforts, through various 
community service programs, to reach out to children, seniors, and the 
disabled.
  The times we live in pose never-before-conceived-of threats to our 
citizens. It is reassuring to know that my constituents can benefit 
from this enduring team of first-responders who have a commitment to 
their patients and their community.
  I ask all of my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me 
in thanking these brave men and women for their professionalism, their 
ability to work under pressure, and their effectiveness in carrying out 
their critical mission.
