Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the service of one of my constituents, Captain John Ehnis, of the Citrus County Fire Department. Captain Ehnis's dedication to recruiting and training the best and brightest new hires is a testament to his passion for cultivating and inspiring future generations of firefighters. He has also fostered a positive culture among both new and existing employees--a commendable feat that helps set this amazing team apart from other departments throughout the nation. Captain Ehnis sets a high standard for professionalism, serving as a role model for others in the department. Because of his daily contributions, the entire team's effectiveness and morale has dramatically improved.

These are just a few examples of the hard work, dedication, eagerness to help, and servant leadership that Captain Ehnis exhibits every day when he goes to work. Captain Ehnis is a shining example of what it means to be a Citrus County First Responder. His work ethic should be a benchmark for which other first responders should strive to attain. It is evident that Captain Ehnis has made a profoundly positive impact on our community and is qualified to be recognized as a First Responder of the Year for Florida's 12th Congressional District.
