Floor Speech

Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize Mr. Thomas Foreman for his life of service to Middletown Borough. Mr. Foreman has dedicated 25 years of service as the director of the Emergency Management Agency (EMA), 55 years to the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department, and over 30 years with the Pennsylvania Lottery. Mr. Foreman has become a pillar of the community through more than five decades of service.

Mr. Foreman's work with the Liberty Fire Company in Middletown began in November of 1966, where he's served as secretary, vice president, and president. While executing countless hours as a volunteer firefighter, he also maintained his involvement with the Emergency Management Agency, helping prepare the Borough for its next emergency. In the performance of his duties, he assists residents during natural disasters--to include floods, snow, and TMI events, and myriad other situations that require his oversight and assistance. He works regularly in the EMA office, attends monthly preparedness and borough meetings, and his dedication to the residents of Middletown is tireless and unmatched.

Mr. Foreman is a lifelong resident of the Borough of Middletown. Upon his retirement from the Pennsylvania Lottery in 2004, he maintained his tireless commitment to the residents and Middletown community at large. Tom has two beautiful children--Michael, a fireman, and Kelly--and four grandchildren.

I am privileged to honor Mr. Thomas Foreman and recognize his significant contributions to our community throughout more than five decades of selfless and honorable service to Middletown Borough, Dauphin County, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On behalf of the citizens of the 10th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, I wish him Godspeed as he embarks upon his next adventure.
