                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Richard Forristall of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on his recent 
retirement as a Deputy with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff's 
Department. For more than 33 years, Deputy Forristall has served 
Pottawattamie County citizens. He began his career in court security, 
later joining the road division where he became a K-9 handler.
  Deputy Forristall said, ``When I started, I was one of the only K-9 
handlers in the area. I helped other surrounding counties, the Iowa 
State Patrol, and the Department of Transportation.'' He said he 
enjoyed meeting and helping people. Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff 
Danker said, ``He's done a great job. He's done a lot of things for us. 
You hate to see him go, but I know he's done a great job for the 
citizens of Pottawattamie County.''
  Mr. Speaker, Deputy Forristall made a difference by serving others. 
It is with great honor that I recognize him today. I ask that my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating him for his accomplishments. I thank him for his service 
to Pottawattamie County and wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
