             JAMES T. DRUMM FOR 50 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 19, 2017

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure for me to rise and 
recognize a pillar of the Hastings-On-Hudson community, James T. Drumm, 
who for 50 years has dedicated himself to public service and helping 
others as a integral part of the Hastings-On-Hudson Fire Department at 
the Riverview Manor Hose Company No. 3. I am honored to be able to 
offer this recognition to such a dedicated servant of the people.
  James has done a tremendous amount for Hastings, but his service 
actually began in the United States Marine Corps, where he was active 
duty from 1955 to 1957. As a former member of the Armed Forces, it was 
only fitting that, upon his discharge, James would continue on a path 
of serving the public good. He went on to join the Hastings Fire 
Department, rising through the ranks to become Chief of Department from 
1987-1989 and again from 1995-1997. He also served as Deputy Chief, 
Ambulance Corp Member, Fire Police Officer, and, today, remains active 
as Village Fire Inspector.
  I am very fortunate and proud to represent such a distinguished 
public servant as James, and after a half-century of remarkable work in 
service to his country and local community, he too should feel 
tremendously proud. I want to thank James for all he has done on behalf 
of Hastings and our grateful nation.
