Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rick Deasy, the FLETC Associate Director for Training, who plans to retire this coming February.

Rick has had a long and impressive career working for the Federal Government. He served honorably for 22 years in the Armed Forces with active and reserve special operations forces.

Before working at FLETC, Rick served as Chief of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Homeland Security Investigations Training Academy.

During his tenure as the associate director, Rick was charged with developing and executing FLETC's COVID-19 response, which he did impeccably.

He also championed the need for a FLETC medical liaison officer to service medical professionals and trainees.

While Rick may be retiring, his impact on FLETC, our district, and our Nation will be felt for generations to come.

Congratulations, Rick, on a wonderful and successful career. We hope you enjoy your retirement.
