BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize Lieutenant Michael Terch for his 25 years of service with the Garden City Fire Department in Michigan's 12th District Strong.

Lieutenant Terch began his career with Garden City in 1998 when he split his time working for multiple municipal fire departments until he joined the Garden City Fire Department as a full-time firefighter and paramedic. Lieutenant Terch was promoted to Engineer in 2012 and to Lieutenant in 2019. In 2020 he completed the EMS Fire Staff and Command class.

In addition to his service to the public, Lieutenant Terch served on the IAFF Local 1911 Union board in many roles over the years. He has served as a trustee, secretary, and 9 years as the union president having been elected twice. He is the founding member of the union's charity golf outing that ran successfully for 17 years and has been involved with the IAFF MDA's Fill the Boot charity event.

Please join me in recognizing Lieutenant Michael Terch for his 25 years of outstanding service to the people of Garden City in Michigan's 12th District Strong as we wish him well on his next endeavor.
