                       Wednesday, March 28, 2012

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a brave and dedicated 
leader, Lewisville Fire Department Captain Terry Wilcox. Captain Wilcox 
has spent his entire career of almost 38 years serving in the 
Lewisville Fire Department, protecting and promoting the safety of the 
citizens of the City of Lewisville.
   Captain Wilcox is a highly respected member of both the community 
and the Fire Department. A lifelong resident of Lewisville, he 
graduated high school in May 1974 and joined the Fire Department in 
September of the same year to give back to the community that raised 
him. As a testament to his hard work and leadership, on May 1, 1985 he 
was promoted to Captain, a rank he has held for almost 27 years.
   Captain Wilcox is married to Charlotte Wilcox, who also gives back 
to the community

by serving on the Highland Village, Texas City Council. Together they 
have two children, Tiffany and Travis, as well as two grandchildren. In 
what little spare time is available, Captain Wilcox is an avid 
fisherman and hunter, hobbies he enjoys together with his son.
   On March 31, 2012, Captain Wilcox will retire from the Lewisville 
Fire Department as the most senior officer ever in the history of the 
department. After almost four decades of public service, his 
leadership, professionalism and dedication will not be forgotten by the 
City of Lewisville. His devotion to his career, his fellow firefighters 
and the citizens of Lewisville are absolute and will be deeply missed 
by all those that he has had the opportunity to assist and influence.
   It is my great privilege to recognize Lewisville Fire Department 
Captain Terry Wilcox for his service, and I am privileged to represent 
the City of Lewisville in the U.S. House of Representatives.
