                      Wednesday, December 5, 2012

  Mrs. SCHMIDT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of my 
constituents, Mr. Ronald Morrison. Mr. Morrison has dedicated an 
incredible 50 years of his life to his community and, specifically, to 
the Felicity-Franklin Fire Department, located in Clermont County, 
Ohio.
  Mr. Morrison began his tenure with the Felicity-Franklin Fire 
Department in 1962 as a firefighter and engineer. For 25 years he 
served as Assistant Fire Chief, followed by five years as Fire Chief.
  Despite retiring from his job at the American Laundry Machine 
Company, Mr. Morrison has remained an active volunteer member of the 
Felicity-Franklin Fire Department, where he currently serves as a 
primary engineer.
  Mr. Morrison's dedicated service to his community has undoubtedly 
made the Village of Felicity, Franklin Township, and Clermont County, 
Ohio a safer place to live, work, and play. He serves as a role model 
to his friends and neighbors and is undeniably deserving of the praise 
he receives. He is the epitome of public service.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring and thanking 
Mr. Ronald Morrison for his unwavering commitment to his community and 
to the Felicity-Franklin Fire Department.
