                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                         Tuesday, June 30, 2020

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Fire Fighter 
Eric Tews on the occasion of his retirement from the Garden City, 
Michigan Fire Department.
  It is evident that Mr. Tews has a strong sense of duty and public 
service. After he graduated from high school, Mr. Tews immediately 
enrolled in the United States Navy, serving for four years. He explored 
a career in welding before once again taking up the mantle of public 
service and becoming a fire fighter in 1990. In September of 1997, Mr. 
Tews joined the Garden City Fire Department as a full-time firefighter. 
Not satisfied with stopping there, he went on to earn his paramedic 
license. Beyond proudly performing his duties in an exemplary manner, 
Eric Tews has served as a mentor to newer members, sharing his 
knowledge and experience.
  Please join me in recognizing Garden City Fire Fighter Eric Tews' 
twenty-three years of service as we wish him well on his retirement.

                          ____________________
