                       Thursday, October 29, 2009

  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Dr. Daniel L. Walter as he retires after 45 years as a 
Family Practice physician in Davison Michigan. Dr. Walter will be 
honored at a celebration on November 4.
  After graduating from the University of Michigan Medical School in 
1959, Dr. Walter completed an internship in Family Practice at Madigan 
Army Medical School and Madigan General Hospital. He was then 
commissioned as a Captain in the U.S. Army and served from 1960 to 1963 
as a Battle Group Surgeon attached to the 82nd Airborne Division at 
Fort Bragg. During this time he was the recipient of the Army 
Commendation Medal, Senior Parachutist Badge and a U.S. Navy 
Commendation.
  Dr. Walter established a Family Practice in Davison in 1963 once his 
military service was concluded. Over the years Dr. Walter has 
participated in numerous community and medical associations. 
Acknowledged and appreciated by his peers, he served in leadership 
positions with several organizations. Dr. Walter also committed 
extensive time to educating the area coaches and high school staffs 
about recognizing and treating sports injuries. He was the first 
Diplomat of the American Board of Family Practice in the Flint area. 
Dr. Walter and his wife, Peggy, have six children.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join his family, 
friends and colleagues in congratulating Dr. Daniel L. Walter on an 
excellent medical career. I wish him the best for many, many years 
ahead.
