  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Thomas Holt for the 
outstanding commitment and dedication he has demonstrated to the City 
of Imperial Beach. Mr. Holt started his public service as an ocean 
lifeguard in 1967. During his 47 years of service, Thomas Holt made 
thousands of ocean rescues and provided medical aid to hundreds of 
beach visitors.
  On March 1, 2014, Mr. Holt officially retired at the age of 70. His 
service is a remarkable achievement in the ocean lifeguarding field. 
Mr. Holt is recognized by his lifeguard colleagues and the community of 
Imperial Beach as a hardworking, reliable and dedicated mentor.
  Mr. Holt has devoted his life to preserving the lives of others. His 
outstanding achievements, his leadership and his commitment to the 
people of California's 51st District, are an inspiration to us all.
