             REMEMBERING WESTLAND FIREFIGHTER BRIAN WOEHLKE

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, 6 years ago yesterday, Westland firefighter 
Brian Woehlke made the ultimate sacrifice when he died courageously 
battling a blaze at a local strip mall.
  Brian, who was born in Detroit, certainly was courageous, and he lost 
his life after the 29 short years he had been on this Earth.
  On the sixth anniversary of his tragic passing, let us remember him 
and his loving family that survives him, including his wife, Jennifer, 
and his daughter, Ava. We thank them for their selflessness and 
bravery, and we honor them by offering unwavering support for the men 
and women who continue to serve as our first responders across the 
country.
