  In September 1971, the area native joined the department as a

he learned to follow the great examples of veteran leaders, and as a 
result on February 5, 1988, Charlie Jordan was promoted to the rank of 
Lieutenant.
  Additionally, Lt. Jordan has served in a leadership position since

individual who has given so much to his community. As a Member of 
Congress, I am pleased to recognize Lt. Jordan for his outstanding 
contributions to the Northeastern Colorado community. He is surely an 
example for us all.
