       COMMENDING UPPER GREENWOOD LAKE VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORPS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 1, 2005

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I commend the Upper Greenwood 
Lake Volunteer Ambulance Corps in New Jersey's fifth Congressional 
district on 50 years of excellent service to our community. Located in 
West Milford in northern New Jersey, this brave group of selfless 
residents has been saving lives since being founded on June 2, 1955.
  A great community effort, the Upper Greenwood Lake Volunteer 
Ambulance Corps was started with the assistance of a weekend resident 
and a loan from a local business owner. Residents helped maintain the 
first ambulance, a 1947 Cadillac, and cleared the land for the 
headquarters with assistance from local business.
  Today, volunteers spend countless hours training in life-saving and 
learning how to use advanced equipment. Volunteers also raise money to 
defer the costs of ambulance care for needy residents,
  For their great dedication to the cause of saving lives, I praise the 
Upper Greenwood Lake Volunteer Ambulance Corps and wish them another 50 
years and beyond of outstanding response to medical emergencies.
