                        HON. THEODORE E. DEUTCH

                       Tuesday, February 9, 2016

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Boca Pointe 
Chapter of the American Friends of Magen David Adom on the occasion of 
their ambulance dedication.
  Magen David Adom is Israel's emergency medical service, blood bank, 
and disaster-relief organization. The American Friends of Magen David 
Adom (AFMDA), a nonprofit organization, is the largest supporter of MDA 
worldwide. Today, the AFMDA Boca Pointe Chapter will dedicate a fully-
equipped ambulance to the people and State of Israel. This is the 
fourth such ambulance they have donated, a generous gift that truly 
saves lives.
  I express deep appreciation for the Boca Pointe Chapter's selfless 
humanitarian endeavors. Their unwavering support for the State of 
Israel not only sets an example for the future but for the South 
Florida Jewish community as a whole. I am proud to honor them and thank 
them for their work and service.
