  Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Major David 
Anderson of the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office. On behalf of the 
people of Western North Carolina, I would like to thank Major Anderson 
for his 30 years of service to Caldwell County.
  Major Anderson began his law enforcement career in 1986 when he 
graduated from the U.S. Army Military Police School at Fort McClellan, 
Alabama. The following year he joined the 21st Airborne Military Police 
Company at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He then worked for the Lenoir 
Police Department as a patrol officer and field training officer from 
1990 until 1993.
  In 1993 Major Anderson joined the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office 
and was assigned to the Patrol Division as Deputy Sheriff. He was 
promoted to Sergeant in 1994, to Lieutenant in 1998, and to Captain of 
the Patrol Division in 2006. Major Anderson was appointed to Major/
Chief Deputy by Sheriff Alan Jones in 2008 and served in this position 
until his retirement. As Chief Deputy, Major Anderson supervised 
budgetary and personnel matters and oversaw the daily operations of the 
Sheriff's office. In addition to these duties, Major Anderson conducted 
an extensive research project to document the history of the Caldwell 
County Sheriff's Office.
  Throughout his career, Major Anderson has received numerous medals, 
service awards, and commendations including the Advanced Law 
Enforcement Certificate, Advanced Service Award, Officer of the Year, 
and the Medal of Valor. Major Anderson is a lifelong resident of 
Caldwell County, where he lives with his wife and children.
  Through his dedication to the people and history of Caldwell County, 
Major Anderson has enriched the community that he so faithfully served. 
I am honored to recognize Major Anderson on his retirement and convey 
the sincere congratulations and best wishes of the people of North 
Carolina.
