Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize and celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Leesburg Fire Department in the city of Leesburg, Florida.

Since its founding in 1875, the Leesburg Fire Department has been a steadfast symbol of courage, dedication, and selfess public service. For a century and a half, the department has served the people of Leesburg with the same commitment and bravery that defined its earliest days.

As we commemorate this remarkable milestone, we not only honor the department's rich history, but also pay tribute to the men and women, past and present, who have answered the call to protect life and property in times of need.

Congratulations to the Leesburg Fire Department on 150 years of outstanding service. I am proud to join the community in expressing our deepest gratitude and appreciation for their enduring contributions to the safety and well-being of Leesburg.
