  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today is a special day as we 
celebrate and recognize the work of an exceptional citizen of our 
district: Mayor Danny Dunn of Temple, TX. Throughout his life, he has 
dedicated himself to the residents of his beloved hometown. His 
commitment to public service represents Texas values at their best.
  Mayor Dunn has spent the past eight years devoting himself to make 
the city of Temple a great place to work and call home. Under his 
steady and forward-looking leadership, Temple has seen exponential 
changes, ranging from new public safety initiatives to large 
improvement projects to restore the city. His commitment to smart, 
lasting, and strategic development has improved the quality of life for 
all citizens of Temple and put the city on the track for continued 
growth in the future.
  Mayor Dunn's public service doesn't end at 5 p.m. during the week. He 
is continuously trying to make Temple a better city by volunteering and 
working with numerous civic engagement groups such as museum 
committees, veteran research, and children hospitals. His great work 
has not gone unnoticed as Mayor Dunn has been the recipient of 
countless awards and recognition.
  While Mayor Dunn has been honored to serve Temple, he knows that 
everything has its season and that it is time for him to allow the next 
generation of leaders to take the stage. Retirement from office does 
not mean that Dunn is finished improving and inspiring the city. He 
plans on continuing to work, volunteer, and be an active citizen of the 
city of Temple while pursuing graduate school and spending time with 
his family.
  Mayor Dunn has left big shoes to fill as he has gone above and beyond 
the expected duties of a public servant. He has led Temple to new 
heights and positioned his hometown to

on his retirement, and wish him nothing but the best in the years to 
come.
