firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and

Ganzenmuller upon the occasion of his designation for special recogni-
tion after 50 years of dedicated service to the Sea Cliff Fire Depart-
ment to be celebrated at its 131st Installation of Officers on Friday,

WHEREAS, Firefighters exemplify the power of human compassion and the
strength of the American spirit through actions of the most heroic
magnitude; Firefighter Peter Ganzenmuller's sacrifices and selfless
dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great
country; and
