  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my heartfelt 
congratulations to Battalion Chief David Lambrix as he celebrates his 
retirement and recognize his many years of distinguished service with 
the Dearborn Fire Department. His contributions to the community are 
worthy of commendation.
  Battalion Chief David Lambrix joined the Dearborn Fire Department as 
a firefighter on September 6th, 1994. Throughout his twenty-five years 
with the force, Lambrix rose through the ranks of firefighter, fire 
lieutenant, and captain. In 2017, Lambrix was promoted to battalion 
chief, and has held the position ever since. Among his friends, 
colleagues, and peers, Lambrix is recognized as a humble leader who 
strives to make a difference without seeking praise or recognition for 
any of his significant accomplishments.
  Prior to his career with the fire department, David Lambrix dutifully 
served his country. He served as an EM2 in the U.S. Navy from 1984 to 
1988 in Alamenda, California. Without a doubt, Lambrix understands what 
it means to be an active and loyal community member. He devotes himself 
to causes he believes in and has made a difference in all the lives he 
has touched. Lambrix has received numerous honors and accolades for his 
outstanding work including the Fire Chief Life Saving Award, the 
Perfect Attendance Award, and the Meritorious Service Award, among a 
host of others. Most recently, Lambrix was bestowed the John D. Dingell 
Medal of Freedom Memorial Commendation in 2019 for his dedicated career 
in public service and commitment to Dearborn.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the 
retirement of Battalion Chief David Lambrix from the Dearborn Fire 
Department. I am proud to honor his work, accomplishments, and 
significant community impact. We thank him for his outstanding service 
and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
