    HONORING RENEE GALLIHER FOR BEING NAMED FIREFIGHTER OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VIRGINIA FOXX

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 4, 2010

  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise today to salute Renee Galliher of 
Mocksville, North Carolina. Renee was recently named firefighter of the 
year at the Cornatzer-Dulin fire department in Mocksville.
  She is the first women in the fire department's almost 60-year 
history to be named firefighter of the year. This is no small 
accomplishment and I am proud to recognize Renee for her dedicated 
service to the public.
  As this month is Women's History Month, I think it is also very 
appropriate to single out North Carolina women like Renee who are 
making a significant difference in their local communities.
  Today millions of women across America like Renee are making positive 
contributions to their families, their communities and their country. 
It is a true honor to have countless women like Renee as constituents 
and to share their stories of success with my colleagues and the 
American people.
