Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Hot Springs Volunteer Rescue Squad for 60 years of serving the people of Bath County.

Since 1963, the Hot Springs Rescue Squad has provided emergency medical services to its citizens including cardiac care, cave rescue, vehicle rescue, search and rescue, and water rescue, along with treatment and transport for medical and trauma patients.

With 1 paramedic, 3 intermediate, 6 advanced, 5 drivers, and 20 basic providers, the squad responds to multiple calls for service weekly, and each one of the team members conducts their job professionally and swiftly.

Throughout its history, the Hot Springs Rescue Squad and its members have been nominated and received multiple awards, including the first- place trophy at the State EMT competition in Roanoke.

The Squad's longevity stands as a testament to the civic spirit of the town and an example we should all follow: to always lend a helping hand.

I congratulate again the Hot Springs Volunteer Rescue Squad on their 60th anniversary, and I wish them many more years of success.
