                      Wednesday, September 7, 2005

  Ms. HART Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Parkview Volunteer Fire Department, PVFD, of O'Hara 
Township on their 75th anniversary of service.
  Over the past 75 years the PVFD has maintained its missions of 
protecting the residents of O'Hara Township. Serving nearly 9,000 
people and roughly 150 businesses, the PVFD has established a 
tremendous amount of respect among the community for their public 
service. Since 1930 the PVFD has developed, maintained, and 
strengthened a strong mutual trust and open communications between the 
fire department and the community in which it protects.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the 75th anniversary of the Parkview Volunteer Fire 
Department. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute such principled 
public servants as the Parkview Volunteer Fire Department.

                          ____________________
