      IN HONOR AND RECOGNITION OF GOOD SAMARITAN NORBERT MAGALSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 15, 2006

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Norbert Magalski of Parma, Ohio, a noble Good Samaritan and Gulf War 
veteran who has lent a hand to many.
  Mr. Magalski, as a trained emergency medical technician and tow truck 
operator has helped countless people on the roadside. Even in an age 
when people are too overwhelmed with their own priorities to lend a 
helping hand to strangers, he has made it a common practice in his life 
to help those who are in need of assistance on the road.
  Mr. Magalski was injured last Thursday by a suspected drunk driver 
while helping a young woman who had veered off I-76 and into a 
guardrail. He suffered broken bones in his left leg, left shoulder and 
face. It will be several months before he fully recovers.
  This man is truly one to be honored and emulated as he remains 
committed to lending a helping hand when needed. He is a modest and 
kind-hearted citizen who in spite of injury will continue to help 
strangers in need. His kindness and generosity is something that is not 
often seen in today's society. My thoughts and prayers are with him and 
his family for his quick recovery.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of Norbert Magalski, whose dedication and courage in lending a hand to 
his fellow citizens has helped save the lives of many.
