America is successful because of her citizens. And tonight, I want to share and talk about and recognize three such individuals from Clinton County, Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, the first is Donald Mellott. On Friday, February 12, 2010, veteran fire policeman Donald G. Mellott made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while serving the citizens and communities of Clinton County, Pennsylvania. Mr. Mellott tragically lost his life while working to control the traffic scene of a two-vehicle crash on Lusk Run in Bald Eagle Township. A long-time public servant in Clinton County, he most recently served as captain of the Woolrich Fire Police Association. Captain Mellott was instrumental in shaping the future of the Clinton County Fire Police Association. He began his public service at the age of 16 and served his communities for 46 years. Captain Donald Mellott's life embodies that of a true American hero.
