                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 13, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Training 
Captain Brad Lahart for his dedicated and outstanding service to the 
Denton Fire Department and the City of Denton, Texas.
  Captain Lahart has recently been named Employee of the Year for his 
leadership and devotion to the Denton Fire Department. As Training 
Captain, he ensures that all firefighters have proper training and 
certification, and works with the victim's assistance program to help 
victims of fires and other disasters. Mr. Lahart was project manager 
for Station 7, and is currently managing the construction of a new fire 
and police training center to be built at the Station 7 site. He has 
greatly contributed to the tripling of the department's documented 
training hours, which the firefighters need to retain their 
certification.
  It is with great honor that I recognize Mr. Brad Lahart for his hard 
work and selfless dedication to the Denton Fire Department and the 
citizens of Denton, Texas. I am proud to represent him in Washington, 
and his service will be set as a standard of devotion and true 
leadership, one that will never be forgotten.
