Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the incredible volunteer work of my constituent, Ed Hannon, of Charles Town, West Virginia. Ed began volunteering for fire and rescue services in 1978 at the age of 16. Ed took a job as a paid first responder in Arlington, Virginia, in 1983 but continued to give his time volunteering. When he moved to Jefferson County in 1993, he joined the Citizens Fire Company. Jefferson County has no paid fire and EMS personnel, so they rely on dedicated volunteers like Ed to provide these critical services. Ed ran his final calls on December 31, completing 44 years of dedicated volunteer service. I wish Ed well in retirement and thank him for his service to the citizens of Jefferson County. ____________________”
