  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor George E. Cody for 
his commitment to the Franklin Fire Department in Massachusetts.
  George E. Cody began his career with the Franklin Fire Department on 
November 1, 1966. On November 4, 1983, he was added as a permanent 
firefighter, and was later promoted to Department Lieutenant on July 3, 
1986. He retires today as the Captain of the Franklin Fire Department, 
a position he achieved on September 9, 1999, after over 30 years of 
dedicated service to the Franklin community.
  George Cody is a lifelong resident of Franklin, Massachusetts, and a 
long time member of the Franklin Democratic Town Committee. George is a 
past member of the Franklin Charter Commission, and a present member of 
the Franklin Elks Organization. Throughout his life, George has been an 
extremely active member of the Franklin community. I would like to 
express my gratitude and admiration for the commitment that he has 
shown to the town and people of Franklin, Massachusetts.
