  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud Paul A. Graf, Jr. 
for his swift and courageous action to protect a family and their pets 
from an apartment fire.
  Mr. Graf is a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. On 
February 16, 2016 while on his route, he noticed smoke coming from an 
apartment. He called 9-1-1 and took immediate action to make sure that 
there was no one inside the apartment.
  Mr. Graf's actions prevented a possibly life-threatening tragedy. The 
Ridley Park community he serves and the greater Philadelphia area are 
grateful for his vigilance and hard work on the job.
