                   IN RECOGNITION OF DANIEL SILVERMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 19, 2013

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished 
career of Fire Chief Daniel R. Silverman on the occasion of his 
retirement.
   Chief Silverman dedicated his professional life to the Town of 
Wellfleet and its fire department. He will retire after thirty years 
and three months of honorable service, including nearly seven years as 
a full-time Fire Chief. Chief Silverman's outstanding achievements as a 
first responder are evident in his rise through the ranks. After 
beginning his career as a Call Firefighter and EMT, he was subsequently 
awarded the role of Call Lieutenant, Call Deputy Chief, and Fire Chief. 
Firefighters are a pillar of strength in our society, and they 
routinely risk their lives to protect our neighborhoods, safeguard our 
families, and provide urgent aid to those who need it most. Over the 
course of his impressive career, Chief Silverman has demonstrated an 
unwavering devotion to those ideals.
   Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Fire Chief Daniel R. 
Silverman for over three decades of distinguished public service. I ask 
that my colleagues join me in honoring all that Chief Silverman has 
given to his community.

                          ____________________
